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
