"Let Me Die In Southern California" Lyrics

Let Me Die in Southern California (B. Wurschum)

I’ve packed my bags, I’m gonna leave the city

The story leading up to this is long

But those big bright lights that sometimes seem so pretty

Lose every bit of allure when you,

You feel the weight of the world

Desert winds, please blow all that behind me

We know it in our hearts when we are home

Jasmine, take me to a place I’ll find me

Where the ocean catches the sun sinking

And taking all the undone

Ending where it begun

Let me die in Southern California

Big blue sky, you’re golden in the sun

As we fly through Southern California

Down the 101

A winding highway spilling through the canyon

A mission-style tavern packed with fools

Who laugh and raise their glasses up to heaven

As sunlight flickers off the tops of pools

It’s kind of like the sound of spirits thrashing

These waves that kiss this highway up and down

And calming is the calling of their crashing

And all you’ve loved, it just swirls in you

Yes, everything that you’ve loved

Yes, everyone that you’ve loved

Let me die in Southern California

Big blue sky, you’re golden in the sun

As we fly through Southern California

Down the 101
