Brian Wilson & Danny Hutton
Pretty straightforward song about trying to make it big in California. The message seems to be that even if your not famous, you can still find your role.
[Verse 1]
You broke your hand punching the clock
So you could heal your heart
Took a Greyhound all the way west, to where the
Streets are paved with stars
It’s never too late to find your California role
[Verse 2]
The Hollywood sign burns through the smog (burns through the smog)
And reawakens your dreams
Living under this sun, disappointment is not as bad as it seems
It’s never too late to find your California role
[Pre-Chorus]
Every girl’s the next Marilyn
Every guy, Errol Flynn
Sometimes you’ve got to edit your dreams
And find the spotlight behind the scenes
[Chorus]
Here in California, man I got to warn ya
Find your California role
[Verse 3]
You don’t have to climb the Capitol tower
Or play the Hollywood Bowl
If there’s a roll in your heart, and a rock in your soul
If you miss your shot
It doesn’t mean you won’t reach your goal
Be-do-be-do
Be-do-be-do
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t drown your sorrows now, just take a dip
You can satisfy your thirst with just one sip
If you missed the premiere ’cause you never arrived
The best part of this L.A trip just might be the ride
[Chorus]
Here in California, man I got to warn ya
Find your California role
[Outro]
Roll around Heaven all day (that lucky old sun)
Roll (Roll)
Roll around Heaven all day (that lucky old sun)
Roll (Roll)
Roll around Heaven all day (that lucky old sun)
Roll (Roll)
Roll around Heaven all day (that lucky old sun)
Roll
