California #24
Cruising down the 405
To Ventura boulevard
I spot a dusty hitchhiker
And I offer him a ride
Trench Coat worn to smithereens
Teeth drenched in rot
Stalagtited smile
Constellationed dimple dots
We pass the time
Surfing skimming sifting the radio
I ask him well, where to now?
There's only one place I'd rather go
California
California
California
California
California
California
California
California
California
California
California
California
I put the pedal to the metal
Turn the knobs right to the max
Drive on thru the in-n-out
And I'll pick us up some snacks
Now Hollywood ain't Bollywood
Warren Beattie ain't Shah Rukh Khan
L.A.'s had its glory days
It peaked with Goldie Hawn
Enough with the rigamarole
My rider chastised me
Nostalgia's got you blinded
There's only one place I'd rather be
California
California
California
California
California
California
California
California
California
California
California
California
Sometimes when I lie awake
At night I get so scared
I dreamt I've left The Valley
And I've lost all my hair
I for one could care less
For the triviality
Too much superficialdom
My friend he disagrees
Praise be Los Angeles
It's one big jamboree
We're home to the Lakers
And that's enough for me
California
California
California
California
Kobe Bryant
California
California
California
California
California
Kobe Bryant
