CIt's raining on the west coast snowing in Topeka
The weatherman says there's ice below TenneG7ssee
There's a Fflood out in CaliG7fornia and a Cdrought way down in FTexas
And in CMaine the fog's so G7thick that you can't Csee
But the sun shines bright in AcaFpulco
There's no G7snow in Old MonteCrey
There's no ice down in NoFgales
I say oh G7Lord there's gotta be a better Cway
I see a loser in my mirror got a devil in my brain
And the woman I've been loving she moved G7on
She left Flonesome in my G7bedroom and dirty Cdishes in my Fsink
Guess she Cdidn't like the G7words to my country Csong
But the sun shines bright in AcaFpulco
There's no G7snow in Old MonteCrey
There's no ice down in NoFgales
I say oh G7Lord there's gotta be a better Cway
I’ll mail a check for my kids to Joanie buy a backpack and a hat
Get a map that shows all the highways heading G7south
I got Fno friends to G7call there ain’t Cnobody left at Fall
I’m Cgonna be up and G7in not down and Cout
But the sun shines bright in AcapFulco
There's no G7snow in Old MonteCrey
There's no ice down in NoFgales
I say oh G7Lord there's gotta be a better Cway
But the sun shines bright in AcaFpulco
There's no G7snow in Old MonteCrey
There's no ice down in NoFgales
I say oh G7Lord there's gotta be a better Cway
