[Verse 1]
A# Dm Cm F7
I thought me and my sweet baby really had it going on
A# A#dim Cm F7
I thought that we were happy and our love was true and strong
Fm7 A#7 D# G#9
And the old farmhouse, the picket fence, a horse, a dog, and cat
Gm7 F# F
Family and friendship give a shirt right off their backs
[Verse 2]
A# Dm Cm F7
So naturally I was surprised when out of the blue
A# A#dim Cm F7
She said she was going to Hollywood to make her dreams come true
Fm7 A#7 D# G#9
Won’t it hurt to be happy and I follow her anywhere
Gm7 F# F A#
But I’m just an old country boy, what would I do out there?
[Chorus 1]
D#m A#
In California
D#m A#
Land of Kardashians, glitz and movie stars
D#m A#
California
D#m C# B A# Faug
Girl you might as well take a rocket ship to Mars

A# Dm Cm F7
A# A#dim Cm F7
Fm7 A#7 D# G#9
Gm7 Cm F A#
[Verse 3]
A# Dm Cm F7
Well I wasn’t going to let her live in Tinseltown alone
A# A#dim Cm F7
And I figured she’d get her fill quick then want to come back home
Fm7 A#7 D# G#9
So I sucked it up and tried not to let on I was lost and bored
Gm7 Cm F A#
Ironically I could have won that Academy Award
[Chorus 2]
D#m A#
In California
D#m A#
She loves your sunny weather, fancy shops, and sushi bars
D#m A#
California
D#m C# B A# Faug
Girl you might as well take a rocket ship to Mars
[Verse 4]
A# Dm Cm F7
Man, I sorely missed our civil life in Tennessee
A# A#dim Cm F7
Sure L.A. was really nice but I never felt like me
Fm7 A#7 D# G#9
Lots of people everywhere but I still felt alone
Gm7 Cm F A#
So I told her that I wished her well but I was going home
[ Chorus 3]
D#m A#
Goodbye to California
D#m A#
You’ll need your mansion surfer dudes or Maserati cars
D#m A#
California
D#m C# B A#
Girl you might as well take a rocket ship to Mars

[Spoken]
A# Dm Cm F
A# whole year went by slowly since she’d left me for the coast
A# Dm Cm
She’d call once in while or send a card with a little note
F A# Dm
I thought she was embarrassed, cause she’d probably gone bust
Cm F
And was sure she’d come home and we’d get back to being us
A# Dm Cm F
She’d come to her senses, get her head out of the clouds
A# A#dim Cm F
And I’d say: “You gave it your best shot, and for that you should be proud!”
Fm7 A#7 D# G#9
‘Till one night I got in bed and turned the TV on down low
Gm7 Cm F A#
And I’ll be danged if it wasn’t her in a brand new reality show, filmed in
[Chorus 4]
D#m A#
California
D#m A#
I should have believed who she was and she would take
D#m A#
California
D#m C# B (Chromatic line: A# A A# B C C# D D)
Take care of my baby keep her wishing on a star
D#m A# D#m A#
California
D#m A#
California
