Crash Course In The Blues Lyrics - Steve Wariner

To a boy from Indiana fresh off the farm 

L.A. looks like heaven with its ever open arms 

My mama said to watch yourself like mamas always do 

Daddy said those city girls will walk all over you 

So I hit the pavement running down on Hollywood and Vine 

I got to town by seven and I fell in love by nine 

She was a California angel wearing alligator shoes 

She had that something that a poor boy can't refuse 

She was incredible, she was 

A crash course in the blues 

Now we're screaming down the freeway 

In this fancy foreign car 

Headed for another party 

Never seen so many stars 

Just when I thought I'd make my move 

And ask her to be mine 

She takes off with somebody else 

And kisses me goodbye 

She was incredible, she was 

A crash course in the blues 

Well she was way too hard to handle 

For a country boy like me 

She's still a Roman candle 

Burning in my memory 

She was unbelievable, she was 

A crash course in the blues 

She was incredible, she was 

A crash course in the blues 

That's right
