Nothing Good Comes Out of California

What's a heartland girl doin' way out there?

They say you'll get tattooed and purple hair

You'll miss the Friday night lights and the county fair

And that's a pity

They say traffic there is a perfect mess

How you get around's anybody's guess

You gotta wheel and deal in stiletto heels in the city

They say it's beautiful but it ain't always pretty

Nothing good comes out of California

They'll convert your heart and we'll have to reform ya

Dance with the devil in the city of angels

They don't know the worlds to the star spangled

Girl, you can't say we didn't try to warn ya

That nothing good comes out of California

In a motel off heartache and Vine

The sits in the shadow of the Hollywood sign

I see a few stars from time to time

And take a picture

Oh and I got a dream burnin' inside my heart

Songs to write on this guitar

No matter where I go

I never get too far from their whispers

They say nothing good comes out of California

They'll convert your heart and we'll have to reform ya

Can't trust a place where the sun shines all the time

With plastic smiles they sip their wine

Girl, you can't say we didn't try to warn ya

That nothing good comes out of California

Guess I'll have to write a song

That makes my hometown sing along

The cynics and critics, I'll prove 'em wrong

Nothing good comes out of California

They'll convert your heart and we'll have to reform ya

Dance with the devil in the city of angels

They don't know the worlds to the star spangled

Girl, you can't say we didn't try to warn ya

That nothing good comes out, I tried to make you proud

Even if nothing good comes out of California
