about

This a Carrie's pandemic song that also pairs as a road-trip song. It's about feeling cooped up and isolated - Missing travel and loved ones we have been separated from . It's a song that Carrie wanted the listener to feel good listening to in hopes it would give them a sense of travel.

Although Carrie's home is in the Pacific Northwest she was born in California. During the pandemic she felt a strong sense of nostalgia for the state - The canyon roads, sunny beaches, and all the loved ones who reside there. This is a tribute to the Golden State.

lyrics

I wanna travel through some canyon roads with you
Haven’t been to LA in several years
Believe me when I say it I’m a California baby
But I am Northwest honey through and through

I’ve got these pacific blues
Haven’t traveled for over a year
Help please get me out of here
I need some life
I need a little cheer

I wanna walk the pier
breathe in ocean air with you
The southern coast always feels like home
When this shit is all over I’m going to drive right through the border and see my dear friends from coast to coast

Will you meet me down the road to get back to a Golden State

Help please get me out of here
I need some life
I need a little cheer
