    Lots ...            leaving...	   Beatin'...		etc... 
  
 E 
 Lots of folks back east they say, 
      A 
 Is leaving home, every day, 
 B 
 Beatin’ the hot old dusty way 
 		    E 
 To the California line 
  
 E 
 Cross the desert sands they roll, 
 A

       E 
 But believe it or not, you won’t find it so hot 
 	B     E

 If you want to buy a home or farm, 
 That can't deal nobody harm, 
 Or take your vacation 
 By the mountains or sea 
  
 Don’t swap your old cow for a car, 
 You better stay right where you are, 
 You better take this little tip from me. 
  
 Chorus: 
 * ‘Cause I look through the want ads every day, 
 But the headlines on the papers always say 
 If you ain't ...
