[F]I went down to Beaumont[C], w[G]here the ballroom angels fly
[F]Something in the a[C]ir down there[G] makes me afraid to [Am]die

[F]Passing through the m[C]idnight w[G]ith the dawn upon my heels
[F]Trying to beat the m[C]orning, [G]lost behind t[Am]he wheel
[F]Maybe if the s[C]unrise would w[G]ait another day, I'd be okay
I would be okay
Chorus:
[F]Cause they've got stars in California, [C]walking down the streets
[Am]Dancing on the boulevard in their golden satin sheets
[F]Busking on the corner, f[C]or change, [C/B]for tips, and[Am] for me
For old memories

Driving through Las Cruces straddled in lies
Staring up at Jesus with the Devil on my mind
And I'm not one for praying, the desert sun can beat you to the bone
It can beat you to the bone
