My first time, we stayed with a friend of mine.
Airport ride, he drove us in, into the big town.
And all around, we were surrounded
by the fog, and I found it
blocking Cali sunset as you showed me around
And August 29 is a great day in my life.
Remember that night we got drunk on red wine?
And it was my first time out on the West Coast
You were almost ready for me,
and you told me you loved me,
but then we had to go back home.
And I loved you the most
when we were out on the West Coast.
And so we ran around, burned up 10 days on the town.
And nothing seemed to get us down, out on the West Coast.
Oh and biking over the Golden Gate, oh, it was the perfect day
just to be in love and to celebrate.
I think I’ll make one last toast, one last toast...
To August 29, a great day in my life.
CHORUS
Nothing ever was the same.
Nothing ever felt that way again.
You know I would have changed my name,
But plans always seem to rearrange,
and bend.
But don't forget, ‘cause I can't forget...
CHORUS
Hey, I love you, hey, I loved you, I love you
when we were out on the West Coast.
