Fastest Growing Heartache In The West

I brought her here from Arkansas

A simple country girl

To try a Californian way of life



But it didn't take her long to learn

The ways of the modern world

Now she's California's fastest moving wife



She's working on it over time

And soon she'll finish me

And the world's saddest man

Will live here in Los Angeles



Of all the things she's ever done

She's making this her best

I got the fastest growing heartache in the West



'Til we came here no man had ever

Touched her heart but me

She'd never tasted any lips but mine



But I know now men have seen

What only I should see

Since her lips have tasted Californian wine



She's working on it over time

And soon she'll finish me

And the world's saddest man

Will live here in Los Angeles



Of all the things she's ever done

She's making this her best

I got the fastest growing heartache in the West
