Intro: Verse 1 Well, he was from a small town In Northern Mississippi She was raised on the Puget Sound A third generation hippie Fate would take them to L.A. County And get 'em stuck in a traffic jam An El Camino and a red Trans Verse 2 Her stereo was blaring Dylan The Bootleg Sessions And, oh, The Times They Are A'Changin' Made a pretty good impression She looked over and caught him smilin' Under a California setting sun They fell in love on the 101 California, California California dreams come true Verse 3 Well, they got in with the In-crowd And got off on the rock 'n' roll Cocaine's free and the music's loud Backstage at the Hollywood Bowl They got the house in Topanga Canyon They partied at the Viper Room Blendin' into the neon gloom Chorus (2X) Bridge: Well, you see them down on the Sunset Strip Trying so hard to be so hip Manhattan Beach to Malibu It's all about the ocean view And who you know in Hollywood It's cut-throat but it's understood Champagne, Kool-Aid, drink it down You're the toast of Tinsel Town… Chorus (2X) (guitar solo through repeats of the cadence)
