[00:11.461]What's a heartland girl doin' way out there
[00:13.710]They say you'll get tattooed and purple hair
[00:16.465]You'll miss the Friday night lights and the county fair and that's a pity
[00:21.961]They say traffic there is a perfect mess, how you get around's anybody's guess
[00:27.469]You gotta wheel and deal in stiletto heels in the city
[00:32.470]They say it's beautiful but it ain't always pretty
[00:36.467]
[00:38.478]They`re saying, nothing good comes out of California
[00:43.222]They'll convert your heart and we'll have to reform ya
[00:48.711]Dance with the devil in the city of angels
[00:51.711]They don't know the words to the star spangled
[00:54.476]Girl, you can't say we didn't try to warn ya
[00:59.222]That nothing good comes out of California
[01:03.216]
[01:07.457]In motel off Heartache and Vine
[01:10.469]The seat's in the shadow of the Hollywood sign
[01:12.958]I see a few stars from time to time and take a picture
[01:17.962]Oh, and I gotta dream burnin' inside my heart
[01:20.721]Songs to write on this guitar
[01:23.471]No matter where I go I never get too far from their whispers
[01:27.729]
[01:29.228]Then, nothing good comes out of California
[01:33.960]They'll convert your heart and we'll have to reform ya
[01:38.965]Can't trust a place where the sun shines all the time
[01:42.213]With plastic smiles they sip their wine
[01:44.955]Girl, you can't say we didn't try to warn ya
[01:49.966]That nothing good comes out of California
[01:53.715]
[02:04.476]Guess I'll have to write a song that makes my hometown sing along
[02:08.973]The cynics and critics, I'll prove 'em wrong
[02:12.964]
[02:14.463]Nothing good comes out of California
[02:20.213]They'll convert your heart and we'll have to reform ya
[02:24.708]Dance with the devil in the city of angels
[02:27.461]They don't know the words to the star spangled
[02:30.219]Girl, you can't say we didn't try to warn ya (didn't try to warn ya)
[02:35.713]That nothing good comes out, I tried to make you proud, even if nothing good comes out of California
