G G
You always said someday you'd go to live
C C G G
In Southern California
D7 D7 G G
And me I'd stay right here in Tennessee


You always talked about the better days
C C G G
In Southern California
D7 D7
But if you'll stay in Tennessee
G G
I promise there'll be better days with me


It's not that I don't love you

But I hear the call
C C G G
From Southern California
D7 D7 G G
There's something I can't find in Tennessee


Silver screens and limousines
C C G G
They wait for me in Southern California
D7 D7
Though you've been so good to me
G G
The time has come you'll have to set me free


Tomorrow when you leave you'll take my heart
C C G G
To Southern California
D7 D7
But just remember I'll be here
G G
To keep your heart with me until you see

spoken:

Well it's been five years and I guess I've cried a million tears
Looking out the window of this little room
Right over that flashing neon sign that says bar
It's almost midnight and time to go downstairs and go to work
I wonder how he's doing in Tennessee

Well here I sit by the window of this big old lonely mansion
Looking out over the Smokies and owning everything I can see
Oh I guess by now she's found what she was looking for
And as I look at this old faded photograph
Of the girl that I still love I wonder if she ever thinks of me

But the weather's good
C C G G
In Southern California
