Lyrics

there was a wishing well guitar case by the sea
below the ferris wheel by the carousel
is where she liked to sing
with sunburned hair and roving green eyes
she was a dandelion running wild

guitar case under streetlight in the dark
earnin' sand dollars by the theme park
she said, "welcome to L.A.
have you a dollar today?"

she blew across the states like many others
for to find the rainbow Judy never could
well the years went by and she became a mother
to the hearts of the strangers on the pier

guitar case under streetlights in the dark
earning sand dollars by the theme park
she said, "welcome to L.A.
where the dreamers come to play. Have you come to stay?"

well the taste of salt led me to the ocean
when I heard her voice hanging in the air
she sang a song so dear it became purified
and the taste of salt led me to the tears

guitar case under streetlights in the dark
earning sand dollars by the theme park
she said, "welcome to L.A.
I'll be here always."
she said, "welcome to L.A."
I dropped a dollar in the case
