Mel Tillis – Ain’t no California [Verse 1] G C G Well I live my life on highways from sea to shining sea C D7 So listen to my story save yourself some agony C G Forget that urge to wander like a shadow on the ground C G Find yourself a woman get a job and settle down [Chorus] C G Cause there ain't no California where the water tastes like wine C D7 Ain't no Big Rock Candy Mountain where you feel good all the time C G I ain't found that old blue bayou though I roamed my whole life long C G Searching for my blue heaven heard somewhere it's called home [Verse 2] C So don't you listen to those freight trains G Let them scream into the night C D7 Don't watch those greyhound buses semi-trucks and airplane lines C G Let someone else be lonely let someone else be cold C G Let someone else make sure those lies and stories all get told [Chorus] C G Cause there ain't no California where the water tastes like wine C D7 Ain't no Big Rock Candy Mountain where you feel good all the time C G I ain't found that old blue bayou though I roamed my whole life long C G Searching for my blue heaven heard somewhere it's called home [Chorus] C G Cause there ain't no California where the water tastes like wine C D7 Ain't no Big Rock Candy Mountain where you feel good all the time C G I ain't found that old blue bayou though I roamed my whole life long C G Searching for my blue heaven heard somewhere it's called home
