[F]I went down to Beaumont[C], w[G]here the ballroom angels fly

[F]Passing through the m[C]idnight w[G]ith the dawn upon my heels

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

For old memories

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
