Lyrics
Roll out of bed
Beginning of the day, waking up
Huaraches and a poncho
Wearing traditional Mexican sandals and a cloak
Looking for lefts
Searching for surfing waves
On the bumper of a Bronco
Standing on the back of a rugged SUV
Shooting BB guns at the Coke cans
Engaging in playful target practice with BB guns
Wore a shoelace as a headband
Using a shoelace as an improvised headband
Tied the mattress down to the top of the van
Tying a mattress securely to the roof of a van
Singing Californ-I-A
Singing about California with enthusiasm
In the dark, there is a light that shines above me
Finding hope or positivity even in darkness
And it doesn't die from the rafters
An enduring and unwavering light, possibly symbolic
Lost the ceiling lights
Experiencing a loss of conventional lighting
Flickering bulbs are no longer bright
Dimming or fading of traditional sources of brightness
Shooting Pali off onto Sunset
Shooting fireworks onto Sunset Boulevard
In a 911 or a white Corvette
Driving a high-end sports car on the iconic street
Playing OBT on the tape cassette
Listening to music on an old-school cassette player
Singing Californ-I-A
Continuing the enthusiastic singing about California
In the dark, there is a light that shines above me
Finding a guiding light in the darkness
And it doesn't die from the rafters
The persistent and lasting nature of the guiding light
From the rafters above
Emphasizing the source of the light from above
From the rafters above, the light will come through
The assurance that light will penetrate despite obstacles
Old dusty cobwebs and shine on you, on you, on you
Overcoming challenges symbolized by dusty cobwebs
