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
