I Couldn't Live in Southern California |
| I couldn’t live in southern California |
| I don’t know nothing I could do |
| I couldn’t live in southern California babe |
| Not unless I lived there with you |
| We went down to laguna in the wintertime |
| Shops were warm the brandy tasted good |
| You know you said you never could stand tourist |
| And you wouldn’t be a tourist if you could |
| Do you remember that we saw a rainbow |
| When it got over the mountains in the way |
| And even though they said it would be raining |
| We found ourself that chilly sunny day |
| The mountains are so high I feel that I could fly |
| Looking down into the valley below |
| The clear Kentucky streams they are always in my dreams |
| I think that is something you should know |
| I don’t think that I could drive the freeways |
| I get lost and you know how that feels |
| Someday I think I’d like to paint a seascale |
| If they ever get the ocean stands still |
| The old men with the beer talked to the seagulls |
| The young men in their prime were playin' ball |
| The coyotes on the prairie chased the rabbits |
| And we promised that we come back in the fall |
| But I couldn’t live in southern California |
| I don’t know nothing I could do |
| I couldn’t live in southern California babe |
| Not unless I lived there with you |
