Rancho Cucamonga

Down in Rancho Cucamonga

There's a girl that wants to

Get me high 'til I can't come down

And I had my inhibition

But my intuition

This time, lord, done let me down

Well, I'm broke down again

Good to see you, my friend

I hope you got a helpin' hand

'Cause in Rancho Cucamonga

Ain't no place for a triflin' man

She lived down on the river

She claims that I'm a giver

But she give me too much credit, y'all

I guess she just likes my style

She been around awhile

And she always answers when I call

Well, I know that I'm in trouble

When she starts pourin' doubles

But she picks me up if I fall

She'll be callin' out my name

All night, while we rattle these walls

I'm singin' just because you want to

Doesn't mean you have to

I should be changin' my ways

This pasture ain't no greener

Should be livin' cleaner

Maybe I'll see brighter days

And if the truth was known

I did this on my own

And, friend, I'll tell you now, it don't pay

But in Rancho Cucamonga, a man can't find no other way

Well she said, "I got a sister

But let me tell you, mister

Don't let me catch you steppin' out."

But, man, I outta warn ya

Them girls in California

Got them curves momma told you about

Well, I broke all them rules

And I played it cool

'Til one night, son, I laid her on down

Then I got caught in between

When that first one caught us messin' around

I'm singin' just because you want to

Doesn't mean you have to

I should be changin' my ways

This pasture ain't no greener

Should be livin' cleaner

Maybe I'll see brighter days

And if the truth was known

I did this on my own

And, friend, I'll tell you now, it don't pay

But in Rancho Cucamonga a man can't find no other way

I said in Rancho Cucamonga a man can't find no other way
