about

Both an elegy for the American Dream and a rock ballad featuring Ken’s Gypsy Starfish band, this upbeat tune recounts Ken’s time touring California.

lyrics

God bless America, land of the free, home of the brave
And those L.A. angels too
God bless America, land of the dream
Over it seems, I’m washed up on your mighty shore
Well I’m washed up on your might shore

Headed down the Cali coast
Redwood forest and live oak
Mendocino’s on my way
Then down by the bay
Picking and grinning every day
Goodbye to my Golden Gate

God bless America, land of the free, home of the brave
And those L.A. angels too
God bless America, land of the dream
Over it seems, I’m washed up on your mighty shore
Well I’m washed up on your might shore

Well I played in Monterey, in Santa Cruz I lost my way
You know that I lost my way
But Big Sur, you stole my heart
Had to love you from the start
You know that I loved you from the start


God bless America, land of the free, home of the brave
And those L.A. angels too
God bless America, land of the dream
Over it seems, I’m washed up on your mighty shore
Well I’m washed up on your might shore

Then down Paso way, had a chance to sing and play
Among those Cambria pines
Settled on the old SLO coast
Avila, I miss you most
You know that I miss you the most

God bless America, land of the free, home of the brave
And those L.A. angels too
God bless America, land of the dream
Over it seems, I’m washed up on your mighty shore
Well I’m washed up on your might shore

Ventura to Ojai, Venice Beach you ought to try
You know that you really ought to try
San Diego radio, all the way to Mexico
Bienvenido a Mexico

God bless America, land of the free, home of the brave
And those L.A. angels too
God bless America, land of the dream
Over it seems, I’m washed up on your mighty shore
Well I’m washed up on your might shore

I said I’m washed up on your mighty shore
You know I’m washed up on your mighty shore
Washed up on your mighty shore
Well I’m washed up on your mighty shore
