The Only Place Lyrics
We were born with sun in our teeth and in our hair
When we get bored we like to sit around, sit around and stare
At the mountains, at the birds, at the ocean, at the trees
We have fun, we have fun, we have fun when we please
We wake up with the sun in our eyes
It's no surprise that we get so much done
But we always, yes we always, we always have fun
Yes we always, yes we always, we always have fun
Why would you live anywhere else
Why would you live anywhere else
We've got the ocean, got the babes,
got the sun, we've got the waves
This is the only place for me
So leave your coat behind
We're gonna make it to the beach on time
Yeah, leave the coat behind
We're gonna make it to the beach on time
Why would you live anywhere else
Why would you live anywhere else
We've got the ocean, got the babes,
got the sun, we've got the waves
This is the only place
This is the only place
This is the only place
This is the only place for me
When we get bored we like to sit around, sit around and stare
At the mountains, at the birds, at the ocean, at the trees
We have fun, we have fun, we have fun when we please
It's no surprise that we get so much done
But we always, yes we always, we always have fun
Yes we always, yes we always, we always have fun
Why would you live anywhere else
We've got the ocean, got the babes,
got the sun, we've got the waves
This is the only place for me
We're gonna make it to the beach on time
Yeah, leave the coat behind
We're gonna make it to the beach on time
Why would you live anywhere else
We've got the ocean, got the babes,
got the sun, we've got the waves
This is the only place
This is the only place
This is the only place for me

I like the band and the song. It's so straight-forward (that phrase was swiped:) The song is about someone who likes his/her life...the sun; the beach; friends; boy/girlfriends; and peace of mind.
The song is straight-forward but successful in its mission; I miss California.
