Here's a song about California's Route 1, also known as the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH). It's a modern one but I've been digging it lately. listen

CALIFORNIA POPPY by THEO LAWRENCE

Don't pick up strangers on the road
As a young boy I was told
But I could never ever listen
I was en route to Monterey
She was headin' the same way
All aboard my Silverado

CHORUS
She's a California poppy of the PCH
Bloomin' on the roadside
Hitchin' and a-thumbin' and a-bummin' a ride
In a golden ray of sunshine

She was a hipster from the town
Smokin' reefer by the pound
And her ways were kinda groovy
She kept her shades on for the ride
Now there was somethin' she was tryin' to hide
I couldn't put my finger on it

CHORUS

We made a stop at a service station
For a little bit of relaxation
And a little bit of gasoline
She stole my keys and then she rode away
And for the gas I had to pay
So I wrote my song about it

CHORUS
