Earthquake Country

It's a good thing you live in SoCal

Where the sun, it always shines

But you'll never go more than a few days

Without the dust getting in your eyes

They say the life has it's trade-offs

Well I got one for you

To live where it's always sunny

Or where the ground could split in two

I'm driving down the freeway

I feel a rumble all around

Is it the earth a-quaking

How stable is this ground?

It's an eighteen-wheeler gaining speed

Passing me on the right

Sixteen tonnes of rubber and steel

Rips past me into the night

And it's earthquake country

Keeping me up at night

And it's earthquake country

No the world doesn't seem right

And it's earthquake country

Keeping me up at night

And it's earthquake country

No the world doesn't seem right

Lying in my bed at night

Spiralling in a dark zone

As I'm scrolling through a wasteland

I feel a rumbling in my bones

Could it be the big one

As I leap up out of my bed

And in that same split second

I see where all my fears have led

There's no need to panic

The house is standing strong

The night is cool and quiet

My baby's sleeping all alone

[Chorus] x 2

And it's earthquake country

Keeping me up at night

And it's earthquake country

No the world doesn't seem right

We all live in earthquake country

In our own peculiar way

A rabid dog or a gamma ray

We're just tryna keep the wolves at bay

Yeah to keep the wolves at bay
