She was fresh

Verse 1
D 
G 
out of college
D 
G 
D 
The first one in her family to go
Bm 
G 
And California seemed
D 
like heaven,
G

Pulaski, Tennessee was her home

D 
G 
She worked on losing her
D 
southern accent
G 
D 
And turned her back on her Baptist ways
Bm 
G 
She bought some clothes that barely
A 
D 
G 
covered her fair skinned body,
A 
Went to Nashville and caught
D 
a plane
G 
D 
The clouds rushed beneath her
Bm 
A 
as the LA  smog filled the air
G 
D 
Bm 
She smiled when the airlock opened
G

And the Pacific breeze blew through her

D 
G 
She thought about the boys
D 
from Alabama
G 
Who came into town every
D 
Friday night
Bm 
G 
And drank beer out of big
A 
D 
glass quart bottles
G 
A 
And left their trail of blood
D 
and tears behind
G 
She thought the men from California
D 
would be different
Bm 
She'd grown up watching
A 
them on her TV
G 
But the men she came to know
D

in California
G 
A 
Left her longing for Pulaski, Tennessee

Bm 
Good
A 
ideas always start with a full glass
G 
D 
And just breathing here can make
A 
a girl's nose bleed
G 
D 
Dreams here live and die just like a stray dog
Bm 
G 
A 
on a dirt road somewhere in Tennessee
D 
G 
The storefronts all filled
D 
up with eyeballs
G 
D 
As the policemen clear out the street
Bm 
G 
For a line of cars with their
D 
headlights burning
G 
A 
Driving slow through Pulaski,
D 
Tennessee
