Verse 1:
G
What's a heartland girl doin' way out there
Bm                               G
They say you'll get tattooed and purple hair
Em
You'll miss the Friday night lights
Em                               C
And the county fair and that's a pity
C        G
They say traffic there is a perfect
G                 D                  G
Mess, how you get around's anybody's guess
G         Em                                      C
You gotta wheel and deal in stiletto heels in the city
C    Am                              G      Dm
They say it's beautiful but it ain't always pretty

They'll convert your heart and we'll have to reform ya
G                           Em
Dance with the devil in the city of angels
G                   C
They don't know the words to the star spangled

Verse 2:
G
In motel off Heartache and Vine
G                                D        G
That sits in the shadow of the Hollywood sign
A                      Em                      C
I see a few stars from time to time and take a picture
C         G
Oh, and I gotta dream burnin' inside my heart
G
Songs to write on this guitar
Em                                   D              C
No matter where I go I never get too far from their whispers

Am    G                                     Em
Can't trust a place where the sun shines all the time
     G
With plastic smiles they sip their wine
Em                            G           A
Girl, you can't say we didn't try to warn ya
Am           Bm                G          Em     D C G

Bridge:
E                                                      A
Guess I'll have to write a song that makes my hometown sing along
A   Am                                 Dm
The cynics and critics, I'll prove 'em wrong
