D 
Always had a West Coast problem 
                        C          G          D 
Oughta give it up but I can't help fallin' in love 
D 
Met a girl said she never seen the sticks 
D 
Told her fly with me to Nashville 
             C                  G 
Think that's somethin' we could fix 
D 
I was drinkin', she was drivin' 
D 
On the 405 flyin' 
                      C           G 
Towards the Hollywood sign in the distance 
      A 
Kinda wishin' I'da missed that flight

If I was California instead of Tennessee 
D 
Didn't come from down in Lynchburg 
D 
And grew up on a beach 
                      G 
And I could dig these magnolias up 
G 
Plant some tall palm trees 
     D 
Be a blonde in a Lexus 
D 
Loaded, rollin' back east 
   A 
If I was California instead of Tennessee 
     G 
That girl would never not be comin' home to me 
                     D 
Hell but I ain't California 
                               C 
And she ain't ready to leave

Now I'm on a dirt road in my silver Silverado

She down in Cabo prolly sippin' reposado 
D 
Wish I was with her on a bender down in Mexico 
                             C              G 
But I'm off a sixer from the cooler down at Texaco 
A 
Wishin I'da never came home 
        G 
We'd be floatin' in the ocean gettin' gone
