California Country Boy

Ain't no palm trees where I come from No big waves crashing on the shore No grid-locked traffic, no movie stars, no In the part of California I come from

We got oil fields in the Central Valley We cowboys out in the Mojave Selena Valley, yeah where I come from We got farms, far as the eye can see

[CHORUS:] Now I got good friends out in Texas And I got family in Tennessee But this here country boy's from California Ain't no place I'd rather be Ain't no place I'd rather be

From Pasa Robles to the Owens Valley From Manchester on down the Salton Sea It's where I pick this guitar, it's where I write these songs Ain't no place that I'd rather be

[CHORUS:] Yeah I got good friends out in Texas And I got family in Tennessee But this here country boy's from California Ain't no place I'd rather be Ain't no place I'd rather be

Ain't no palm trees, ain't no movie stars In the part of California I come from
