Steve Wariner - Crash Course in the Blues lyrics

To a boy from Indiana fresh off the farm L.A. looks like heaven with its ever open arms My mama said to watch yourself like mamas always do Daddy said those city girls will walk all over you So I hit the pavement running down on Hollywood and Vine I got to town by seven and I fell in love by nine She was a California angel wearing alligator shoes She had that something that a poor boy can't refuse She was incredible, she was A crash course in the blues Now we're screaming down the freeway In this fancy foreign car Headed for another party Never seen so many stars Just when I thought I'd make my move And ask her to be mine She takes off with somebody else And kisses me goodbye She was incredible, she was A crash course in the blues Well she was way too hard to handle For a country boy like me She's still a Roman candle Burning in my memory She was unbelievable, she was A crash course in the blues She was incredible, she was A crash course in the blues That's right
