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 sand and that 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 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.
