about

Despite what this song may imply, I love California. I really do!
This song is about how sometimes "California" can mean "Los Angeles", and how I disapprove of that. There is much, much more to CA than LA.

lyrics

IT'S OKAY (IT'S JUST CALIFORNIA)

There is a place with sultry beaches and tons of people.
You can have a taste, but can't afford it. Cuz you're a cheapo.

Black ties and white lights. Brown hills and street lights is what it's more like.
You dig the night life? You're not invited. Cuz you're a low life.

But it's okay, it's just California.
It's okay, it's just California.
It's okay.

Somebody stop me. I’ve got a fever for wooden glasses.
Let’s visit J-Tree. We need to get up off of our asses.

It's okay, it's just California.
It's okay, it's just California.
It's okay.

Strange trees and mountains. The sand below us, the stars above us.
Hot days and cool nights. There’s no one out here to push and shove us.

(Instrumental)

Don't forget the rest of it.
You haven't seen the best of it.
There are wonders to behold
If you can break the city’s mold.
