Way out west where I come from
Every single trunks got a sound system
On the 15 singin’ my anthem, California here I come
I remember sittin’ on the beach beneath the stars
Singing to the lord a hymn of praise on my guitar

It’s a good day to be from california
Shout three cheers for the golden state
It’s a good day to be from california
I’m going back to Cali and I can’t wait

There’s where I got my first tattoo
That’s the church where I heard the good news
There’s the school where I used to go
That’s where the tones played our first show
There’s the beach where we would go for Dawn Patrol
We’d paddle out through the freezing waves as they would roll
And I’d float out on the ocean
It’s like God pulled back the curtain

Way out west where I come from
Every single trunks got a sound system
On the 15 singin’ my anthem, California here I come
I remember sittin’ on the beach beneath the stars
Singing to the lord a hymn of praise on my guitar
I wanna go back, by the train tracks
In the soft sand and just sit back
