about

Finally a definitive version of this song written in the mid 90's after meeting a child of the sun on vacation out west, long before moving to LA. Shout out to Jeff and Scott for some incredible backing vocals.

lyrics

Broken down on the side of the road
Nothing around for miles but the wind and cold
Searching my heart for a place to stay
Only one I want is so far away

She is my southern California
How did I fall in love with an angel of the sun
She is my southern California
Heading back into the desert
I will return
I will return

Back on the road but I've got no way
Run down faces around here all look the same
I'll keep driving straight ahead
Ain't seen nothing worth stopping for yet

She is my southern California
Forget all those winter's daughters and the cruel games that they play
I can see her dancing with the Eagles
Playing on the radio as
She turns her head my way
She turns her head my way

It's late at night, I'm still all alone
Headlights guiding my way, I know where I'm going
Back to that place where I'm gonna stay
Sun shining down on us every day
