There's people coming every day out to the promised lands
Across the deserts and the mountains to hold the sunshine in their hands
But L.A. she's a hard one and she sure knows what to do
Take your pride and your hunger
Twist 'em up and turn >em back on you
[Chorus]
Well, I'm Oklahoma crude
And I'm Arkansas contrary
Found true love in Louisiana
And I found God up in Missouri
Hollywood's a painted woman,
But her words of love aren't true
And the Valley just ain't home
When you're Oklahoma crude
I left my folks just south of Tulsa
Lost a girl from Baton Rouge
Pack my guitar and my blue jeans
Go out west to sing my tunes
But the boulevards and bright lights
They can make a grown man cry
I'm headin' East on U.S. 40
Let those palm trees wave goodbye
[Chorus]
