Verse 1
        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 2
        G                                G
Well, I heard out in the hills, they got pills to get their thrills
         C                               G
And they love their liquor down in New Orleans
      G                           G
Maybe for a New York minute, sugarcane will fit the bill
       A                                    D
But in no time flat, you're out of what you need
    G                              G
The old crew don't get together anymore these days much ever
      C                                            G
After some went straight and some went straight to jail
            C                          G                     Em
Now they're busy postin' vids and just tryin' to raise their kids
           A            D                G
Instead of raisin' holy hell and postin' bail

Chorus
          G                        G
Well, I'm California sober as they say
    C                            G
And lately I can't find no other way
  C                               G
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

Outro
      G                       G
I was California sober 'til I thought the world was over
        C                             G
Now I'm sittin' on the roadside once again
          C                        G           Em
When that wagon passes by, I don't even bat an eye
            A7          D               G
Because the devil on my shoulder always wins
              C                        G           Em
When that ol' wagon passes by, I don't even bat an eye
Em            G           D               G
  Because the devil on my shoulder always wins
