<br />

There's people coming every day out to the promised lands<br />

Across the deserts and the mountains to hold the sunshine in their hands<br />

But L.A. she's a hard one and she sure knows what to do<br />

Take your pride and your hunger<br />

Twist 'em up and turn >em back on you<br />

(Chorus)<br />

Well, I'm Oklahoma crude<br />

And I'm Arkansas contrary<br />

Found true love in Louisiana<br />

And I found God up in Missouri<br />

Hollywood's a painted woman,<br />

But her words of love aren't true<br />

And the Valley just ain't home<br />

When you're Oklahoma crude<br />

I left my folks just south of Tulsa<br />

Lost a girl from Baton Rouge<br />

Pack my guitar and my blue jeans<br />

Go out west to sing my tunes<br />

But the boulevards and bright lights<br />

They can make a grown man cry<br />

I'm headin' East on U.S. 40<br />

Let those palm trees wave goodbye<br />

(Chorus)
