I'm about as small town as you can get,
I'm talkin' two lanes, one cop,
Plowed up fields catching red sunsets,
We get nervous when the rain stops.
Never had a reason to leave this place,
Never had a reason to get away.
The wheels just touched down in California,
Man, I don't even like to fly,
I just gotta see her with the sun shining on her in the water,
Chrome aviators on her eyes.
I never had a reason to get away,
I never had a reason to see this place,
She gave me a reason to love L.A.
She said she had to be where that sun dropped down,
I'm talkin' fast lane goodbye,
She'd chase it all the way till that road ran out
And parked it underneath the pink sky.
I wanna hear those waves come crashing in,
I wanna feel that Santa Ana wind,
I wanna go everywhere she's been, hold her again.
The wheels just touched down in California,
Man, I don't even like to fly,
I just gotta see her with the sun shining on her in the water,
Chrome aviators on her eyes.
I never had a reason to get away,
I never had a reason to see this place…
