California Poppy

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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]
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

[Verse 3]
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]
It's called the California poppy of the PCH
Bloomin' on the roadside
Hitchin' and a-thumbin' and a-bummin' a ride
In a golden ray of sunshine
Yeah, the California poppy of the PCH
Bloomin' on the roadside
A-hitchin', thumbin' and a-bummin' a ride
In a golden ray of sunshine
In a golden ray of sunshine
