DESCRIPTION:
I am in love with the magical place I get to live right now. I have a tiny beach house with billowing white curtains, a block away from the water. It’s a special living situation that fell right into my lap, from some new friends here and I’m so grateful. My mom and sisters came to visit and surprise me for the show I opened for Cody Lovaas at the Carlsbad Village Theatre (the live Song, “Beautiful Mind” is from that show). Anyway, after taking them paddle boarding on the beautiful Pacific, and walking through the dreamy neighborhood they turned to me and said, “you live in a fantasy land”. It’s true. When I dropped them off at the airport, I came home and jumped back in the ocean. I came home, started a song, had a couple glasses of wine, took a walk around the neighborhood again, and took in the whole dynamic of a small town. All the locals grew up together. The town gossip still flies free, there’s game nights on Wednesdays at a house on the beach, and everybody knows everybody. It all struck me at once so I ran home to write it. Enjoy.
Lyrics:
its like a bentley bodega
like a permanent wave
like a diamond in the sidewalk
when ya try to walk away
Nobody gonna touch me
when I’m walking on air
go the boys at the LP
with sun kissed hair
looking like i don’t care
Jimmy got a girlfriend
everybody knows now
yeah she’s somebody
important- yeah
She’s the talk of the tiny town
She got the outdoor shower
for the gold in her hair
She goes swimmin with the fishes
yeah, they stop and they stare
cause its just in the air
when you're
‘cause I’m living in La Jolla
Where everybody got style
Ya want a January sunburn
Baby come and stay a while
Livin in la Jolla
What a beautiful sound
I'll be waiting there for ya
When the sun comes down
Got a player from the race track
comin’ down to let loose
he gonna grab a margarita
Loosen up the business suit
yeah they got the bum
with a surf board
and a volkswagen bus
and he's got a girl from the movies
with a beautiful face
that ya just wanna taste
when you’re
bridge:
Just another green flash Friday
papparazzi cameras
Jumping off the big rock
Baby I dare ya
Party at the big house
Frankie’s got the guitars
We can all be just who we are
