[Verse 1]
G Bm Am D7
I thought me and my sweet baby really had it going on
G A#dim Am D7
I thought that we were happy and our love was true and strong
Dm7 G7 C F9
And the old farmhouse, the picket fence, a horse, a dog, and cat
Em7 D# D
Family and friendship give a shirt right off their backs
[Verse 2]
G Bm Am D7
So naturally I was surprised when out of the blue
G A#dim Am D7
She said she was going to Hollywood to make her dreams come true
Dm7 G7 C F9
Won’t it hurt to be happy and I follow her anywhere
Em7 D# D G
But I’m just an old country boy, what would I do out there?
[Chorus 1]
Cm G
In California
Cm G
Land of Kardashians, glitz and movie stars
Cm G
California
Cm A# G# G Daug
Girl you might as well take a rocket ship to Mars

[Verse 3]
G Bm Am D7
Well I wasn’t going to let her live in Tinseltown alone
G A#dim Am D7
And I figured she’d get her fill quick then want to come back home
Dm7 G7 C F9
So I sucked it up and tried not to let on I was lost and bored
Em7 Am D G
Ironically I could have won that Academy Award
[Chorus 2]
Cm G
In California
Cm G
She loves your sunny weather, fancy shops, and sushi bars
Cm G
California
Cm A# G# G Daug
Girl you might as well take a rocket ship to Mars
[Verse 4]
G Bm Am D7
Man, I sorely missed our civil life in Tennessee
G A#dim Am D7
Sure L.A. was really nice but I never felt like me
Dm7 G7 C F9
Lots of people everywhere but I still felt alone
Em7 Am D G
So I told her that I wished her well but I was going home
[ Chorus 3]
Cm G
Goodbye to California
Cm G
You’ll need your mansion surfer dudes or Maserati cars

[Spoken]
G Bm Am D
G whole year went by slowly since she’d left me for the coast
G Bm Am
She’d call once in while or send a card with a little note
D G Bm
I thought she was embarrassed, cause she’d probably gone bust
Am D
And was sure she’d come home and we’d get back to being us
G Bm Am D
She’d come to her senses, get her head out of the clouds
G A#dim Am D
And I’d say: “You gave it your best shot, and for that you should be proud!”
Dm7 G7 C F9
‘Till one night I got in bed and turned the TV on down low
Em7 Am D G
And I’ll be danged if it wasn’t her in a brand new reality show, filmed in
[Chorus 4]
Cm G
California
Cm G
I should have believed who she was and she would take
