California Country

Story Behind The Song

We have tired of EVERYONE telling us that we have to go to Nashville to be country artists. Eventually we will have to , but for now don't tell us there's no country music in Southern California, because after all it's called "Country & WESTERN" music.

Song Description

In Southern California, if you get out of Los Angeles and Orange County and head east towards San Bernardino (San Berdu) you will find a huge rural base of folks that like western living (horses, fresh water fishing) and some great country music fans.

Lyrics

Verse 1:
L.A.'s got the freeways
The smog
And the big skyscrapers
Orange County has the beaches
The malls
And the drunken capers

Trans Bridge :
But head a few miles east
With the sun behind you
Your neck will get pretty red
On the 10 to San Berdu

Chorus:
Who says there's no country music
In Southern California
They try to ignore ya
Just like Bakersfield before ya
There's plenty of country
In Southern California

Verse 2:
Pull a trout out of
Corona Lakes
Off the 15 Freeway
Norco
Now that's a horse town
And that's how they prefer to get around

Trans Bridge:
But head a few miles east
With the sun behind you
Your neck will get pretty red
On the 10 to San Berdu

Chorus:
Who says there's no country music
In Southern California
They try to ignore ya
Just like Bakersfield before ya
There's plenty of country
In Southern California

Bridge:
There's as many cowboys here
As imported beers
In fancy bars
You couldn't get more west
And still see all the stars
(On Hollywood Boulevard)

Chorus:
Who says there's no country music
In Southern California
They try to ignore ya
Just like Bakersfield before ya
There's plenty of country
In Southern California


Out Chorus... :
(In Southern California)
I wish they all could be
You can check out .. never leave
All the leaves are brown
And the skies are gray
