I Remember California

I remember redwood trees, bumper cars and wolverines The ocean's Trident submarines Lemons, limes and tangerines I remember this I remember traffic jams Motor boys and girls with tans Nearly-was and almost-rans I remember this History is made History is made to seem unfair I recall that you were there Golden smile and shining hair I recall it wasn't fair Recollect it wasn't fair Remembering it wasn't fair outside Low ebb, high tide The lowest ebb and highest tide A symbol wave I must confide I guess we took us for a ride I guess it's just a gesture I remember this defense Progress fails pacific sense All those sweet conspiracies I remember all these things I remember traffic jams Motor boys and girls with tans Nearly-was and almost-rans I remember this, this Low ebb, high tide The lowest ebb and highest tide I guess we took us for a ride I guess it's just a gesture At the end of the continent At the edge of the continent At the end of the continent At the edge of the continent
