Verse 1:
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
         G
She'd be lovin' me again tonight


Chorus:
             D
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


Verse 2:
G         D
Now I'm on a dirt road in my silver Silverado
                        C           G
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

             D
