I can tell you about the rain after forty days of heavy downpour
I can tell you about the clouds cause they just won't go away
and I think it might be just the time
to pack my bags and take a ride with you
baby, we're both needing something new

[chorus]
Cause california sunshine's calling my name
lay me by the ocean, I won't complain
don't call it a vacation
don't think I ever want to leave
there's nothing like a blue sky over the bay
to let you know that everything is ok, oh,
I just love to get away
to california

It's feeling good to slow down
take the top down
let's go driving all day long
I'm feeling kind of crazy
I think maybe I'm in love
and I wanna turn the music up
tip back my cup and drink it all in deep
cause there's no place on earth I'd rather be

Take me surfing cause I've never been
take me driving down the coast again
take me high, take me low, just take me out
Let's go dancing down the boulevard
just bring the night
I just might bring my guitar
it's not too hot
it's not too cold when it's just right
