Verse

        G                              G
Well, I used to like to ramble with my good-time friends and neighbors
      C                            G
Now I find I'd rather lie awake in bed.
            G                         G
And I don't get to actin' mean when I keep my buzzes clean
             A                                  D
And keep the hard stuff and the whiskey from my head.
        G                                         G
Well, I guess that's just the trouble when you're always seein' double
        C                                  G
And the lines are gettin' twice as hard to see.
         C                             G            Em
I've had years I don't recall, but I'm told I had a ball
         A                D                 G
At least somebody did who looked a lot like me.

Chorus

       G                        G
So I'm California sober as they say
    C                            G
And lately I can't find no other way
  C                               G               Em
I can't stay out and party like I did back in the day
       A          D             G
So I'm California sober as they say

Verse

Well, I heard out in the hills, they got pills to get their thrills
And they love their liquor down in New Orleans.
Maybe for a New York minute, sugarcane will fit the bill
But in no time flat, you're out of what you need.
The old crew don't get together anymore these days much ever
After some went straight and some went straight to jail.
Now they're busy postin' vids and just tryin' to raise their kids
Instead of raisin' holy hell and postin' bail.

Chorus

Outro

I was California sober 'til I thought the world was over
Now I'm sittin' on the roadside once again.
When that wagon passes by, I don't even bat an eye
Because the devil on my shoulder always wins.
When that ol' wagon passes by, I don't even bat an eye
Because the devil on my shoulder always wins.
