G Bm C D
There's a part of the country could drop off tomorrow in an earthquake,
G Bm C D
Yeah, it's out there on the cutting edge, the people move, the sidewalks shake.
Em Bm C D
And there's another part of the country with a land that gently creaks and thuds,
Em Bm C D
Where the heavy snows make faucets leak in bathrooms with free-standing tubs.
G Bm C D Em
They're in houses that are haunted, the with kids who lie awake and think about
C D G
All the generations past who used to use that dripping sink.


Em Bm C D
And sometimes one place wants to slip into the other just to see
Em Bm C D
What it's like to trade its demons for the restless ghost of Mrs. Ogilvey,
G Bm C D
She used to pick the mint from her front yard to dress the Sunday pork,
G D C G
Sometimes southern California wants to be western New York.

G Bm C D
It wants to have a family business in sheet metal or power tools,
G Bm C D
It wants to have a diner where the coffee tastes like diesel fuel,
Em Bm C D
And it wants to find the glory of a town they say has hit the skids,
Em Bm C D
And it wants to have a snow day that will turn its parents into kids,
G Bm C D Em
And it's embarrassed, but it's lusting after a SUNY student with mousy brown hair who is
C D G
Taking out the compost, making coffee in long underwear.


Em Bm C D
And southern California says to save a place, I'll meet you there,
Em Bm C D
And it tried to pack up its Miata, all it could fit was a prayer,
G Bm C D
Sometimes the stakes are bogus, sometimes the fast lane hits a fork,
G D C G
Sometimes southern California wants to be western New York.



Em Bm C D
Tempe, Arizona thinks the Everglades are greener and wetter,
Em Bm C D
And Washington, D.C. thinks that Atlanta integrated better,
G Bm C D
But I think that southern California has more pain that we can say,
G D11 C G
'Cause it wants to travel back in time, but it just can't leave L.A.

G Bm C D
But now I hear they've got a theme park planned, designed to make you gasp and say,
G Bm C D
Oh, I bet that crumbling mill town was a booming mill town in its day,
Em Bm C D
And the old investors scoff at this, but the young ones hope they'll take a chance,
Em Bm C D
And they promise it will make more dough than Mickey Mouse in northern France,
G Bm C D Em
And the planners planned an opening day, a town historian will host,
C D G
And the waitresses look like waitresses who want to leave for the west coast.


Em Bm C D
And they'll have puttering on rainy weekends, autumn days that make you feel sad,
Em Bm C D
They'll have hundred year old plumbing and the family you never had,
G Bm C D
And a Niagara River clean-up concert and a bundle-bearing stork,
G D11 C G
And I hear they've got a menu planned, it's trés western New York.
