Ain’t No California

Well I live my life on highways from sea to shining sea

So listen to my story save yourself some agony

Forget that urge to wander like a shadow on the ground

Find yourself a woman get a job and settle down

Cause there ain’t no California where the water tastes like wine

Ain’t no Big Rock Candy Mountain where you feel good all the time

I ain’t found that old blue bayou though I roamed my whole life long

Searching for my blue heaven heard somewhere it’s called home

So don’t you listen to those freight trains

Let them scream into the night

Don’t watch those greyhound buses semi-trucks and airplane lines

Let someone else be lonely let someone else be cold

Let someone else make sure those lies and stories all get told

Cause there ain’t no California where the water tastes like wine

Ain’t no Big Rock Candy Mountain where you feel good all the time

I ain’t found that old blue bayou though I roamed my whole life long

Searching for my blue heaven heard somewhere it’s called home

Cause there ain’t no California where the water tastes like wine

Ain’t no Big Rock Candy Mountain where you feel good all the time

I ain’t found that old blue bayou though I roamed my whole life long

Searching for my blue heaven heard somewhere it’s called home
