| Ain’t no palm trees where I come from
|
| No big waves crashing on the shore
|
| No grid-locked traffic, no movie stars, no
|
| In the part of California I come from
|
| We got oil fields in the Central Valley
|
| We cowboys out in the Mojave
|
| Selena Valley, yeah where I come from
|
| We got farms, far as the eye can see
|
| Now I got good friends out in Texas
|
| And I got family in Tennessee
|
| But this here country boy’s from California
|
| Ain’t no place I’d rather be
|
| Ain’t no place I’d rather be
|
| From Pasa Robles to the Owens Valley
|
| From Manchester on down the Salton Sea
|
| It’s where I pick this guitar, it’s where I write these songs
|
| Ain’t no place that I’d rather be
|
| Yeah I got good friends out in Texas
|
| And I got family in Tennessee
|
| But this here country boy’s from California
|
| Ain’t no place I’d rather be
|
| Ain’t no place I’d rather be
|
| Ain’t no palm trees, ain’t no movie stars
|
| In the part of California I come from |
