words & music by Bob Corbin pub. by Sabal Music Inc. (ASCAP) There's people coming every day out to the promised lands Across the deserts and the mountains to hold the sunshine in their hands But L.A. she's a hard one and she sure knows what to do Take your pride and your hunger Twist 'em up and turn >em back on you (Chorus) Well, I'm Oklahoma crude And I'm Arkansas contrary Found true love in Louisiana And I found God up in Missouri Hollywood's a painted woman, But her words of love aren't true And the Valley just ain't home When you're Oklahoma crude I left my folks just south of Tulsa Lost a girl from Baton Rouge Pack my guitar and my blue jeans Go out west to sing my tunes But the boulevards and bright lights They can make a grown man cry I'm headin' East on U.S. 40 Let those palm trees wave goodbye (Chorus)
