Tim McGraw - Not From California

I'm more mountains and rivers
Than oceans and waves
I'm more moonshine and whiskey
Than vineyards and grapes
I'm more back roads and dives
Than Hollywood signs
I'm more sit by the jukebox
Than lines out the door
No, I'm not from California
I'm from somewhere you ain't anymore

I'm more stars in the sky
Than stars on the sidewalk
I'm more old wooden pew
Than bench on the boardwalk
I'm more kiss you and mean it
Than love you and leave it
I'm more roots in the ground
Than footprints on the shore
No, I'm not from California
I'm from somewhere you ain't anymore

You're out there dreamin'
While I'm back here drinkin' over us
No, I'm not from California
But tonight, I wish I was

I'm more act-tough and fake it
Than find a flight and take it
But I'm too late to say I'm sorry
For all I'm sorry for
I'm not from California
But you can't say I didn't warn you
That I'm the guy who's gonna die
Right where he was born
No, I'm not from California
I'm from somewhere you ain't anymore
