lyrics

It's a sunny day in Southern California
Cruising up to Santa Monica
Doing my weekly routine
Hanging out and not being seen
I go down to the beach every now and then
When I try and find some time to relax
And every now and then
I cruise up Sunset Blvd
And look at the people in their fancy cars
Sitting on the sidewalk cafe's

It's another sunny day
In warm friendly California
Pretty people smile at you
And even say your welcome too

Lord forgive you try and meet somebody in this town
Without any money or a fancy car
You got a better chance of being warm in hell
Than meeting a girl in LA
Just being a average guy
Seeing as I spend way to much time alone and by myself
Obsessing and thinking about all the crazy shit that's happened to me

Welcome to California
The worlds favorite place to play
Trapped inside there's no escape for you
And no there's nothing you can do

So now it's getting late and Ive gota make myself go to sleep
You get so wound up you just can't do anything but lay there and think
Think about the past, the future
and all things that could happen and be
and things that will never be

Welcome to California
It's a cold cold place
The pretty people laugh and play
And they don't care about your fate
You are trapped inside you see
All alone with just the sea
Washing your fears and dreams away
The water washes over your face

So I resort to the good old medication
To my mellow my mind and a mellow sleep
Take a Valium and have myself a drink
It's time to go to sleep

In this great land I'm in
I don't even know where to begin
I'm still all alone
With scares from you driving me home

Welcome to California
The land of Milk & Honey
Gona be famous
Gona be a movie star
Get a big house and live up on the hill
Look out at the Sea
And then you'll drive around
In you're rich and fancy car
Eat at those nifty sidewalk cafe's down on Sunset
Always in style always in fashion
You made the A List Baby
Wake up... It's just a dream
