[Verse 1]
Palm trees lean to the salt
On the way to Santa Monica
Tires kiss the lane lines
Window down, I let it all in
Fruit stand on the corner
And a dog in the back of a truck
Everybody moving like they got a reason
And I got one too
[Pre-Chorus]
The sky stays loud
With a long gold burn
I take the turn
And the whole world turns
[Chorus]
Los Angeles, you shine
Los Angeles, you shine
I drive by the beach
And I feel just fine
Los Angeles, you shine
Los Angeles, you shine
Your wild heart keeps time
With mine
[Verse 2]
La Brea got the morning
With a sax in a secondhand car
A little dust on the dashboard
And a grin from the taquería
Skaters cut the corner
While the traffic holds its breath
Everybody's chasing something bright
And I chase this
[Pre-Chorus]
The sky stays loud
With a long gold burn
I take the turn
And the whole world turns
[Chorus]
Los Angeles, you shine
Los Angeles, you shine
I drive by the beach
And I feel just fine
Los Angeles, you shine
Los Angeles, you shine
Your wild heart keeps time
With mine
[Bridge]
Blue notes in the ocean air
Chrome wink on a freeway rail
If the night comes down on me
I still hear that shoreline call
[Final Chorus]
Los Angeles, you shine
Los Angeles, you shine
I drive by the beach
And I feel just fine
Los Angeles, you shine
Los Angeles, you shine
Your wild heart keeps time
With mine
