Southern California - George Jones Tammy Wynette

You always said Someday you'd go to live

In Southern California

And me I'd stay right here in Tennessee

You always talked about the better days

In Southern California

But if you'll stay in Tennessee

I promise there'll be better days with me

It's not that I don't love you but I hear the call

From Southern California

There's something I can't find in Tennessee

Silver screens and limousines

They wait for me in Southern California

Though you've been so good to me

The time has come you'll have to set me free

Tomorrow when you leave you'll take my heart

To Southern California

But just remember I'll be here

To keep your heart with me until you see

Well it's been five years

And I guess I've cried a million tears

Lookin' out the window of this little room

Right over that flashin' neon sign that says Bar

It's almost midnight

And time to go downstairs and go to work

I wonder how he's doin' in Tennessee

Well here I sit by the window

Of this big old lonely mansion

Lookin' out over the Smokies

And on in everything I can see

Oh I guess by now she's found

What she was lookin' for

And as I look at this old faded photograph

Of the girl that I still love

I wonder if she ever thinks of me

But the weather's good

In Southern California
