[Verse 1]
I'm about as small town as you can get
I'm talkin' two lanes, one cop
Plowed up fields catchin' red sunsets
We get nervous when the rain stops
Never had a reason to leave this place
Never had a reason to get away

[Chorus]
The wheels just touched down in California
Man, I don't even like to fly
I just gotta see her with the sun
Shinin' on her in the water
Chrome aviators on her eyes
I never had a reason to get away
I never had a reason to see this place
She gave me a reason to love L.A

[Verse 2]
She said she had to be where that sun dropped down
I'm talkin' fast lane, goodbye
She'd chase it all the way 'til that road ran out
And parked it underneath the pink sky
I wanna hear those waves come crashing in
I wanna feel that sand and that wind
I wanna go everywhere she's been
Hold her again

[Chorus]
The wheels just touched down in California
Man, I don't even like to fly
I just gotta see her with the sun
Shinin' on her in the water
Chrome aviators on her eyes
I never had a reason to get away
I never had a reason to see this place

[Chorus]
The wheels just touched down in California
Man, I don't even like to fly
I just gotta see her with the sun
Shinin' on her in the water
Chrome aviators on her eyes
I never had a reason to get away
I never had a reason to see this place
She gave me a reason to love L.A

After almost 15 years at the top of his format, reigning ACM “Artist of the Decade” Jason Aldean has seen trends come and go. Hell, he helped bring a few out of the shadows, like a Country-music Columbus making the mainstream’s first contact with hard rock (“Hicktown”), hip-hop (“Dirt Road Anthem”), and R&B (“Burnin’ It Down”). For 9, Aldean’s ninth studio project, he offers 16 interwoven tracks in an era of stand-alone singles and superstar EPs, holding his ground for a modern album with an old-school soul. A three-time ACM Entertainer of the Year, Aldean’s a card-carrying member of the Country’s elite headliners whose incendiary tours are nearing legendary status. Also a dominant force on the charts, he’s scored 23 Number Ones and notably, all eight of Aldean’s previous studio albums have been certified Gold or Platinum by the RIAA. He’s the only Country act in history to top the all-genre Billboard 200 four times (in a row, no less), racking up four billion streams and more than 18 million albums sold along the way.
