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 helping hand

'Cause in Rancho Cucamonga

Ain't no place for a trifling man

She lives 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 pouring doubles

But she picks me up if I fall

She'll be calling out my name all night

While we rattle these walls

I'm singing, "Just because you want to doesn't mean you have to"

I should be changing my ways

This pasture ain't no greener, should be living 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 stepping out

But man, I oughta warn ya, them girls in California

Got them curves Momma told you about

Well I broke all them rules, and I played it cool

Till one night I laid her on down

Then I got caught in between

When that first one caught us messing around

I'm singing "Just because you want to doesn't mean you have to"

I should be changing my ways

This pasture ain't no greener, should be living 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
