Lyrics

Packed up my Pontiac, cruised to California, crossed the Rocky Mountains and the desert to where it rained hard
Long Beach days
First time I saw it, started honking my horn, glittering in whisper of Pacific blue, pretty as a postcard
Long Beach days
Reason ocean full of hops, salt sweet in the air, see Queen Mary chillin’ by the spruce goose dome, and the ghost of Howard Hughes
Long Beach days
Good job at Jordan House, Snoop Dogg, Warren G, Bungalow, 17th classroom, my second home, Press Telegram News
Long Beach days
LBC, come to me, this deep ride in my memory

Remember my apartments, 140 Gaviota, 213 Covina, 69 Granada Avenue
Long Beach days
Different kind of women than I knew in North Dakota, couldn’t settle down with only one like I oughta, didn’t have a clue
Long Beach days
LBC, come to me, this deep ride in my memory

710 freeway, I knew it like my right hand, purring down Pacific Coast Highway in the Ray-Bans, Grand Prix for me
Long Beach days
Living just a block from the surfing in the sand, rollerblading, road raging,
Hollywood plans, earthquakes for free
Long Beach days
Shy Catalina shimmers when she’s showing sunsets where the Vincent Thomas Bridge soars
Oh I long for the Long Beach days

Walking on a winter beach, moonlight algae glowing, kicking it on 2nd Street in Belmont Shore, the dance is done but the rhapsody still plays, sweet in my reverie
Long Beach days
