D# Gm G# A#
There's a part of the country could drop off tomorrow in an earthquake,
D# Gm G# A#
Yeah, it's out there on the cutting edge, the people move, the sidewalks shake.
Cm Gm G# A#
And there's another part of the country with a land that gently creaks and thuds,
Cm Gm G# A#
Where the heavy snows make faucets leak in bathrooms with free-standing tubs.
D# Gm G# A# Cm
They're in houses that are haunted, the with kids who lie awake and think about
G# A# D#
All the generations past who used to use that dripping sink.
Cm Gm G# A#
And sometimes one place wants to slip into the other just to see
Cm Gm G# A#
What it's like to trade its demons for the restless ghost of Mrs. Ogilvey,
D# Gm G# A#
She used to pick the mint from her front yard to dress the Sunday pork,
D# A# G# D#
Sometimes southern California wants to be western New York.
D# Gm G# A#
It wants to have a family business in sheet metal or power tools,
D# Gm G# A#
It wants to have a diner where the coffee tastes like diesel fuel,
Cm Gm G# A#
And it wants to find the glory of a town they say has hit the skids,
Cm Gm G# A#
And it wants to have a snow day that will turn its parents into kids,
D# Gm G# A# Cm
And it's embarrassed, but it's lusting after a SUNY student with mousy brown hair who is
G# A# D#
Taking out the compost, making coffee in long underwear.
Cm Gm G# A#
And southern California says to save a place, I'll meet you there,
Cm Gm G# A#
And it tried to pack up its Miata, all it could fit was a prayer,
D# Gm G# A#
Sometimes the stakes are bogus, sometimes the fast lane hits a fork,
D# A# G# D#
Sometimes southern California wants to be western New York.
Cm Gm G# A#
Tempe, Arizona thinks the Everglades are greener and wetter,
Cm Gm G# A#
And Washington, D.C. thinks that Atlanta integrated better,
D# Gm G# A#
But I think that southern California has more pain that we can say,
D# A#11 G# D#
'Cause it wants to travel back in time, but it just can't leave L.A.
D# Gm G# A#
But now I hear they've got a theme park planned, designed to make you gasp and say,
D# Gm G# A#
Oh, I bet that crumbling mill town was a booming mill town in its day,
Cm Gm G# A#
And the old investors scoff at this, but the young ones hope they'll take a chance,
Cm Gm G# A#
And they promise it will make more dough than Mickey Mouse in northern France,
D# Gm G# A# Cm
And the planners planned an opening day, a town historian will host,
G# A# D#
And the waitresses look like waitresses who want to leave for the west coast.
Cm Gm G# A#
And they'll have puttering on rainy weekends, autumn days that make you feel sad,
Cm Gm G# A#
They'll have hundred year old plumbing and the family you never had,
D# Gm G# A#
And a Niagara River clean-up concert and a bundle-bearing stork,
D# A#11 G# D#
And I hear they've got a menu planned, it's trés western New York.
