Intro 1
G

Verse 1

G

Now I'm a poor ol' key and I'm headin' out west

I'm pullin' a long trailer and my car's doin' its best

We hit a long mountain and

she begins to bawl

She blew her head gasket and

it started drippin' oil

The wheels is out of balance,

she shimmies and she shakes

But it keeps the young 'uns

quiet when they're awake

We got her loaded heavy and

her spring's a way down

If I make it to the top,

I'm sure I can go down

The dogs are quit barkin' and the chickens

are quiet I hope I get there by next

Friday night

The highway's open and we're still

a -comin' I'll make it to

California if my car keeps a rollin'

The old lady's hungry and

the young's is too

And I'm worried and broke and I

don't know what to do

So I sent old

Rattler out to see what he could find

He brought back a cottontail

just the neck of time

The kids grabbed a hold of him,

tore him out of his hide

The ride was still kickin'

but we got him fried

The highway's open and

we're still a -tumblin'

My mate's in

California and my car keeps a -runnin'

The old lady's barefoot

and her feet are flat

She's all bent over with a

hump on her back

She's got a red nose and a freckled face

She wears an old smock all

trimmed and laced

When I get to

California, I'll buy her a new dress

And she can cut around

just like the rest

Sideways is open,

we're still a -comin' I'll make it to

California if my car keeps a -runnin'

It's a big, trip,

but I think I'll win I'll get to

California, but I don't know when

I'll grow me some sideburns

and a mustache too

And I'll show those people

what a poor boy can do

The highway's open and we're still

a -comin' I'll make it to

California if my car keeps a -runnin'

When I get to

Hollywood, I'll make a lot of dough

Get me a job on television or on the radio

I'll buy me a

Cadillac, a big shiny top

And I'll take it back home,

and I'll show it to my pop

The highway's open and

we're still a -comin'

In the make of

California, my car keeps a -runnin'

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
