[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
'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, man have seen
What only I should see
Since her lips has tasted California wine

[Chorus]
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

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
