To a boy from Indiana
Fresh off of the farm
L.A. looks like heaven
With its ever open arms
My mama said to
watch yourself
Like mamas always do
And daddy said
Those city girls
will walk all over you
So I hit the pavement runnin'
Down on Hollywood and Vine
I got to town by seven
But I fell in love by nine
She was a California angel
Wearin' alligator shoes
She had that somethin'
that a poor boy can't refuse
She was incredible
She was a
crash course in the blues
Now we're screamin' down
the freeway
In this fancy foreign car
Headed for another party
I'd never seen so many stars
Just when I thought
I'd make my move
And ask her to be mine
She takes off with
somebody else
And kisses me goodbye
She was incredible
She was a
crash course in the blues
Well she was way
too hot to handle
For a country boy like me
She's still a roman candle
Burnin' in my memory
Man she was unbelievable
She was a
crash course in the blues
She was incredible
She was a
crash course in the blues
