I’m on California 101
The highway
Taking you away
Are you lost ?
We say 101 at most
In the American West

“One-o-one’’
One no one
One, oh one

I fire the only firearm
That disarms you
My denim by Levi’s
501
On California 101

Blue as the sky of my vice
Hip-hugs my skin we drive
The Pacific and its yellow lines unwind
As slowly as the wind
We drive 101’s log jam
Listening to Pearl Jam

I’m Bonnie, my guy’s Clyde
And I gotta tell Elvis
The weather here is a bliss
Elvis, did you wear that hip-hugging Levi’s ?
My road trip essential nice vice?

We drive, high gear overdrive
To San Diego’s beaches and lagoon
To Los Angeles, you funny gowned goon
To San Francisco, everything there is eclectic
California, your State’s electricity is static

“One-o-one’’
One no one
One, oh one

Road trippin’ with my denim by Levi’s
501
On California 101
Are you lost ?
We say 101 at most
In the American West

We’re on Pacific Coast
Highway we followed along the Coast
To the Bay Bridge and the port
Of San Francisco, maritime city
An exceptional city that rules
Exception to the rule
We go country in the Bald Eagle’s county

“One-o-one’’
One no one
One, oh one

Get your denim by Levi’s
501
On California 101
Are you lost ?
We say 101 at most
In the American West!
