To a boy from Indiana fresh off of the farm
LA 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 somethin' that a poor boy can't refuse
She was incredible she was a crash course in the blues
[ guitar ]
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
[ piano - harmonica ]
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
