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

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
