[Hook]
Well, I'm leaving California
I'm moving on to Tennessee
Said, I'm leaving California
I'm moving on to Tennessee
I'm cashing in all my gold
For them Smokey Mountain greens

[Verse]
In the city of the angels
All my demons grew
Yeah, oh that living was painful
Well, I sure paid my dues
Yeah I drained it all the way to the red
Flooding them streets with my blues
'Till I finally broke that levee
Now I'm swimming in gold
And it ain't no fools

[Hook]
Said, I'm leaving California
I'm moving on to Tennessee
Said, I'm leaving California, yeah
I'm moving on to Tennessee
I'm cashing in all my gold
For them Smokey Mountain greens
