I Couldn't Live In Southern California

(Tom T. Hall)

I couldn't live in southern California
I don't know nothing I could do
I couldn't live in southern California babe
Not unless I lived there with you.

We went down to laguna in the wintertime
Shops were warm the brandy tasted good
You know you said you never could stand tourist
And you wouldn't be a tourist if you could.

Do you remember that we saw a rainbow
When it got over the mountains in the way
And even though they said it would be raining
We found ourself that chilly sunny day.

The mountains are so high I feel that I could fly
Looking down into the valley below
The clear Kentucky streams they are always in my dreams
I think that is something you should know.

--- Instrumental ---

I don't think that I could drive the freeways
I get lost and you know how that feels
Someday I think I'd like to paint a seascale
If they ever get the ocean stands still.

The old men with the beer talked to the seagulls
The young men in their prime were playin' ball
The coyotes on the prairie chased the rabbits
And we promised that we come back in the fall.

But I couldn't live in southern California
I don't know nothing I could do
I couldn't live in southern California babe
Not unless I lived there with you...

Mirror lyrics:

Not unless I lived there with you...
I couldn't live in southern California babe
I don't know nothing I could do
But I couldn't live in southern California

And we promised that we come back in the fall.
The coyotes on the prairie chased the rabbits
The young men in their prime were playin' ball
The old men with the beer talked to the seagulls

If they ever get the ocean stands still.
Someday I think I'd like to paint a seascale
I get lost and you know how that feels
I don't think that I could drive the freeways

--- Instrumental ---

I think that is something you should know.
The clear Kentucky streams they are always in my dreams
Looking down into the valley below
The mountains are so high I feel that I could fly

We found ourself that chilly sunny day.
And even though they said it would be raining
When it got over the mountains in the way
Do you remember that we saw a rainbow

And you wouldn't be a tourist if you could.
You know you said you never could stand tourist
Shops were warm the brandy tasted good
We went down to laguna in the wintertime

Not unless I lived there with you.
I couldn't live in southern California babe
I don't know nothing I could do
I couldn't live in southern California
