Terry Allen - There Oughta Be a Law Against Sunny Southern Calif lyrics

rate me

Chorus:

Well I抦 goin back

Goin home again

Yeah I'm goin back

To my own again

Yeah I'm goin back

Ahhh to my home town

The one that put me out

The one that put me down

Well I wired up a car in East Fontana

I was a抙eaded for San Berdu

Ahhh my midnight oil

It was on the boil

An boy I was a barrel抧 through

Then I took a turn

But I hit the curb

An spun off the center lane

An when I heard the crash

Well I stomped on the gas

An I was barrel抧 on again

I leave a few people dead

But I got open road ahead

Yeah

I leave a few people dead

But I got open road ahead

An I remember the cop

With his slicked-back hair

When he told me

To get out a抙ere

An I remember the judge

With his gold plated mouth

He said "go live in the north

You gonna die down South'

You gonna die down south

Chorus

I went flyin through South San Berdu

With my mind on East L.A.

Where my pachuco queen

She's cookin re-fried beans

An she抯 waitin for me today

Yeah stopped on off at the liquor store

Made every body lay down on the floor

Took all their whiskey

Took their bread

Then Shot out their lights

Just before I fled

Yeah

I leave a few people dead

But I got open road ahead

Yeah

I leave a few people dead,

But I got open road ahead

An I remember the bitch

Whose black tongue lied

When she told me

She's dissatisfied

An I remember her daddy

Big as a truck

He said "fuck with me boy

if you want to fuck

Yeah, fuck with me boy

if you want to fuck

Chorus

Yeah there oughta be a law

Against sunny Southern California

Yeah there oughta be a law

Against putting the devil

Behind the wheel...

Cause as long as you people are gonna

Sanction such an evil

Well I'm gonna turn your asphalt

Back Into brimstone

Yeah You God damned bet

I will
