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 words to the star spangled Girl, you can't say we didn't try to warn ya That nothing good comes out of California In motel off Heartache and Vine The seat's in the shadow of the Hollywood sign I see a few stars from time to time and take a picture Oh, and I gotta dream burnin' inside my heart Songs to write on this guitar No matter where I go I never get too far from their whispers 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 words to the star spangled Girl, you can't say we didn't try to warn ya (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
