Nothing Good Comes Out of California - Maddie Poppe

What’s a heartland girl doin' way out there

They say you’ll get tattooed and purple hair

You’ll miss the Friday night lights and the county fair and that’s a pity

They say traffic there is a perfect mess, how you get around’s anybody’s guess

You gotta wheel and deal in stiletto heels in the city

They say it’s beautiful but it ain’t always pretty

Nothing good comes out of California

They’ll convert your heart and we’ll have to reform ya

Dance with the devil in the city of angels

They don’t know the words to the star spangled

Girl, you can’t say we didn’t try to warn ya

That nothing good comes out of California

In motel off Heartache and Vine

The seat’s in the shadow of the Hollywood sign

I see a few stars from time to time and take a picture

Oh, and I gotta dream burnin' inside my heart

Songs to write on this guitar

No matter where I go I never get too far from their whispers

Nothing good comes out of California

They’ll convert your heart and we’ll have to reform ya

Can’t trust a place where the sun shines all the time

With plastic smiles they sip their wine

Girl, you can’t say we didn’t try to warn ya

That nothing good comes out of California

Guess I’ll have to write a song that makes my hometown sing along

The cynics and critics, I’ll prove 'em wrong

Nothing good comes out of California

They’ll convert your heart and we’ll have to reform ya

Dance with the devil in the city of angels

They don’t know the words to the star spangled

Girl, you can’t say we didn’t try to warn ya (didn't try to warn ya)

That nothing good comes out, I tried to make you proud, even if nothing good

comes out of California
