If I Was California Lyrics by Redferrin
Always had a West Coast problem
Oughta give it up but I can’t help fallin’ in love
Met a girl said she never seen the sticks
Told her fly with me to Nashville
Think that’s somethin’ we could fix
I was drinkin’, she was drivin’
On the 405 flyin’
Towards the Hollywood sign in the distance
Kinda wishin’ I’da missed that flight
She’d be lovin’ me again tonight
If I was California instead of Tennessee
Didn’t come from down in Lynchburg
And grew up on a beach
And I could dig these magnolias up
Plant some tall palm trees
Be a blonde in a Lexus
Loaded, rollin’ back east
If I was California instead of Tennessee
That girl would never not be comin’ home to me
Hell but I ain’t California
And she ain’t ready to leave
Now I’m on a dirt road in my silver Silverado
She down in Cabo prolly sippin’ reposado
Wish I was with her on a bender down in Mexico
But I’m off a sixer from the cooler down at Texaco
Wishin I’da never came home
We’d be floatin’ in the ocean gettin’ gone
If I was California instead of Tennessee
Didn’t come from down in Lynchburg
And grew up on a beach
And I could dig these magnolias up
Plant some tall palm trees
Be a blonde in a Lexus
Loaded, rollin’ back east
If I was California instead of Tennessee
That girl would never not be comin’ home to me
Hell but I ain’t California
And she ain’t ready to leave
Hell but I ain’t California
And she ain’t ready to leave
Naw, go head
Now I’m on a dirt road in my silver Silverado
While she down in Cabo prolly sippin’ reposado
Awe hell but if I was California instead of Tennessee
Didn’t come from down in Lynchburg
And grew up on a beach
And I could dig these magnolias up
Plant some tall palm trees
Be a blonde in a Lexus
Loaded, rollin’ back east
If I was California instead of Tennessee
That girl would never not be comin’ home to me
Hell but I ain’t California
And she ain’t ready to leave
Hell but I ain’t California
And she ain’t ready to leave
