(Bruce Stephens)

West coast child of sunshine

Every day's a po' man's blues

West coast child of sunshine

Every day's a po' man's blues

I been tied, hosed, and shanghaied

I'm tired of paying dues.

West coast child of sunshine

It must have been my love/hate blues

West coast child of sunshine

It must have been my love/hate blues

I been tied, hosed, and shanghaied

I'm playing this song for you.

Slice my brand

Said you'd stay with me till the very end

It was a lie

Completely, but I stuck it by

I'm here to love you

To make you feel good

The way you stuck me

I wish that we could

Get back together

And working on a smile

I feel the venom of the law.

I see the Western Nooga

The answer to keep me sane

I stood in Rasanooga de Angeles

To eat my brain

Got a snow job, Fall out

But I'm tired of playing games.

(Ah......

I wanna see that west coast child of sunshine

I know that she lied

She said she'd stay with me till the very end

Ah......)
