[Verse 1]
Come from the sun in San Marino
Guess that makes me Angeleno
Friends got married, had them dogs
Now they read those catalogs
This commerce makes me nauseous (Ah)
When did life get so damn cautious?
So I drive in search of smiles
XM on, let's check out Miles

[Pre-Chorus]
This slice of life when you're out on the road
Is always extra nice when there's someone to hold

[Chorus]
Ay-oh, way-oh
Would you be my traffic jam?
Ay-oh, way-oh
Spirographic anagram
Ay-oh, way-oh
Would you be my traffic jam?
Ay-oh, way-oh
Would you be mine?

[Verse 2]
Anyway, I was headed south
Taste of coffee in my mouth
Up that off-ramp 405
Angry drivers on both sides
Got a call from my good friend Dave
He said, "Yo, let's get that wave"
I said, "Yes, just tell me where"
Board's up top, wind in my hair
From the mind of Frida Kahlo
Show me love and I will follow
From the words of my old man (Old man)
Conversations in the sand
