Crash Course In The Blues

To a boy from Indiana fresh off the farm
 L.A. looks like heaven with its ever open arms
 My mama said to watch yourself like mamas always do
 Daddy said those city girls will walk all over you
 So I hit the pavement running down on Hollywood and Vine
 I got to town by seven and I fell in love by nine
 She was a California angel wearing alligator shoes
 She had that something that a poor boy can't refuse
 She was incredible, she was
 A crash course in the blues
 Instrumental
 Now we're screaming down the freeway
 In this fancy foreign car
 Headed for another party
 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
 Instrumental
 Well she was way too hard to handle
 For a country boy like me
 She's still a Roman candle
 Burning in my memory
 She was unbelievable, she was
 A crash course in the blues
 She was incredible, she was
 A crash course in the blues
 That's right
 Instrumental to fade...
