AmGetting born in the Gstate of Mississippi
PaDmpa was a copper, and her Ammama was a hippy
AmIn Alabama shGe would swing a hammer
DmPrice you got to pay when you Ambreak the panorama
AmShe never Gknew that there was Dmanything moAmre than poor
AmWhat in the Gworld does your Dmcomppany taAmke me for?
AmBlack bandanna, sweGet Louisiana
DmRobbing on a bank in the Amstate of Indiana
DmOn her merry way saying Ambaby, watcha gonna?
AmLooking down the Gbarrel of a Dmhot metal foAmrty-five
AmJust another Gway to surviDmve
CalifoFrnia, reCst in peaDmce
SGimultaFneouCs releDmase CaG
liforFnia, shoCw your teDmeth
DmShould've seen it coming when I Amgot a little brighter
AmWith a name like DGani California
DaDmy was gonna come when AmI was gonna mourn ya
AmA little Gloaded, she was Dmstealing anAmother breath
AmI love my Gbaby to deDmath
CalifoFrnia, reCst in peaDmce

liforFnia, shoCw your teDmeth
BmWho knew the Gother siDF#de of F#5you?
BmWho knew that Gothers diDF#ed to F#5prove?
BmToo true to Gsay goodbyDF#e to F#5you
BmToo true to Gsay, saDF#y, sF#5ay
And eAmleven for the later
AmNever made it uGp to Minnesota
Wasn't Amgunnin' for the quota
AmDown in the GBadlands she was Dmsaving the beAmst for last
AmIt only Ghurts when I lauDmgh
