take a long drive with me 
on california one, california one 

and the road a-winding goes 
from golden gate to roaring cliff-side 
and the light is softly low as our hearts become sweetly untied 
beneath the sun of california one 

take a long drown with me of california wine 

and the wine it tastes so sweet 
as we lay our eyes to wander 
and the sky, it stretches deep 

will we rest our heads to slumber beneath the vines of california wine? 
beneath the sun of california one 

annabelle lies, sleeps with quiet eyes 
on this sea-drift sun 
what can you do? 
and if i said, O it's in your head 
on this sea-drift sun 
what can you do? 

we're calling all bed wetters and ambulance chasers 
poor picker-pockets, bring 'em in 
come join the youth and beauty brigade 

we're lining up the light-loafere'd 
and the bored bench warmers 
castaways and cutouts, fill it up 
come join the youth and beauty brigade 
nothing will stand in our way 

i figured i had paid my debt to society 
by paying my overdue fines at the Multnomah County Library, 
at the library 
they said 'son, go join up 
go join the youth and beauty brigade' 

nothing will stand in our way
