lyrics

Remember when we cruised Highway 101
We were just a bunch of kids living for the sun
Summers come and summers go
but the best summertime that you wanna know
Is when we cruised Highway 101

We'll catch a set down at Swami's at the break of da
And then we'll grab a big burrito at the Pipes Cafe
And when the sun went down the place that we would go
was the La Paloma movie show
When we cruised Highway 101

Who would ever guess
they'd pave over flower fields?
Replace them with a factory outlet mall?
But the ocean is still there
Close your eyes and you will hear
All the sounds of Summers long ago

Last night I heard voices in my head
They told me "get back to the beach and the life you led"
Put the top down, turn on the radio
There's a Jan and Dean song that we all know
(papa doo run doo run)
And we'll cruise Highway 101
