Lyrics Brian Wilson

Brian Wilson

Southern California

I had this dream

Singing with my brothers

In harmony

Supporting each other

Tailwinds, rear spin

Down the Pacific coast

Surfing on the end

Heard those voices again

Southern California

Dreams wake up for ya

And when you wake up here

You wake up everywhere

In the flow of the ocean

And the warmth of the rains

Heard music in the air

And in the waves

The wind chimes, not to rhyme

We had nothing but time

In southern California

I heard the voice of the line

Southern California

Dreams wake up for ya

And when you wake up here

You wake up everywhere

Whoa, whoa, whoa it's magical

Living a dream

Don't wanna sleep

You might miss something

Whoa, whoa, whoa, it's magical

I'm glad it happened to me

Nodded off in a bad dream

Woke up in history

Surfers in the West

The sun ran into the sea

As we headed home

We drove into a movie

Love songs, pretty girls

Didn't want it to end

Tried to slow down the motion

So it could move us again

Southern California

Dreams wake up for ya

And when you wake up here

You wake up everywhere

Southern, Cali-fornia...

(Whoa, whoa, whoa, it's magical)

Southern, Cali-fornia...

(Glad it happened to me)

Roll around in heaven all day

Lucky old sun

Roll around in heaven all day

Lucky old sun

Nothin' to do

Roll around in heaven

I'm workin' all day

Roll around in heaven

I roll around in heaven all day

Roll. Roll

Work. Work. A-workin' in the sun all day

Work. Work. A-workin' in the sun all day
