Erin Smith - Hey California lyrics

Picked up a pen and paper Trying to find the words to write this song Need some kind of inspiration Need some help to come along Shall I drive across the mountain How about watch the lights turn green All these things have got me thinking It's right in front of me Hey California just thought that I would say hello How you been howz the warm sand I haven't felt it for awhile Hey California you're always up and ready to shine Got my left hand out the window I think I'll take you for a ride yeah yeah (California) Drive my way down to the sand Highway 1 the traffic's jammed Turn the music up and loud Sing away scream and shout Wrote a message in a bottle Sent it far into the sea Hoping that a pirate finds it Sets the scribbled paper free Hey California just thought that I would say hello How you been howz the warm sand I haven't felt it for awhile Hey California you're always up and ready to shine Got my left hand out the window I think I'll take you for a ride yeah yeah (Hey California) Uh oh why'd you have to go Finding time doesn't matter in my mind Like a ticking time bomb every day in the long run write it all down till it's all said and done Oh oh sittin here looking at a blank piece of perfect paper Soon be ripped inked finger prints stuffed in a wine bottle send it to the first ship on its trip Hey California just thought that I would say hello How you been howz the warm sand I haven't felt it for awhile Hey California you're always up and ready to shine (Send it out Send it out to the water) Got my left hand out the window Think I'll take ya for a ride....yeah....Hey California Hey California Take a ride....... La la la laa la... Hey California!
