Lyrics
In Southern California there?s a place that?s really pretty
I found my peace instantly
The ocean plays a million songs
A train rolls by, sometimes its long
But that?s okay, I love that sound
I?m gonna take back the sun
I?m gonna love everyone
I?m gonna hear the bands play
I?m gonna sing everyday
Because my heart seems to know
Be more alive if I go
To California?yeah it?s a hippy chicks dream
You know what I mean?..
In Southern California a thousand different corners of heaven
What do you need
An arrow on a mountain side
A symbol of an ancient tribe
I wonder what, they?re doin now
I?m gonna take back the sun
I?m gonna love everyone
I?m gonna hear the bands play
I?m gonna sing everyday
Because my heart seems to know
Be more alive if I go
To California?yeah it?s a hippy chicks dream
I wanta lie in the sun, kick back and have some fun
On the beach, out of reach, far away from everyone
Drink a beer on the railroad track, that?s me as a matter of fact
Tell everyone I?m back?.
I?m gonna take back the sun
I?m gonna love everyone
I?m gonna hear the bands play
I?m gonna sing everyday
Because my heart seems to know
Be more alive if I go
To California?yeah it?s a hippy chicks dream
There?s a long ass windy road, to a perfect place I know
There?s a creek, I?ll probably even see some hippy freaks yeah
I?m gonna play some pool in the warm, warm afternoon
Gonna see some friends of mine
Gonna laugh until I cry yeah
I?m gonna lie in the sun
I?m gonna love everyone cause, yeah, this hippy chick is free
