[Verse 1]

I'm about as small town as you can get

I'm talkin' two lanes, one cop

Plowed up fields catchin' red sunsets

We get nervous when the rain stops

Never had a reason to leave this place

Never had a reason to get away

[Chorus]

The wheels just touched down in California

Man, I don't even like to fly

I just gotta see her with the sun

Shinin' 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

[Verse 2]

She said she had to be where that sun dropped down

I'm talkin' fast lane, goodbye

She'd chase it all the way 'til 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

[Chorus]

The wheels just touched down in California

Man, I don't even like to fly

I just gotta see her with the sun

Shinin' 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

[Chorus]

The wheels just touched down in California

Man, I don't even like to fly

I just gotta see her with the sun

Shinin' 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
