Official video for ‘California Smile’ By multi-award winning singer/songwriter Tom Tikka and The Star Prairie Project.
When Tom Tikka and Nolen Chew Jr. of The Star Prairie Project joined forces, magic happened. They planned to write two songs, one for each artist to put on their upcoming albums. But instead, Tom and Nolen ended up writing two singles!
The first song to be released from this collaboration is the gorgeous “California Smile”, a tune that will make any fan of americana fall in love with it. It's got it all: heartfelt lyrics, great guitars, strong lead vocals, and soaring harmonies. Indeed, one could argue that the song has California written all over it.
Lyrics:
So many roads I’m done taking
'Cause none of them leads me to you
All those hearts that I’ve been breaking
All they got me was just blue
Hold me for a while
And let me kiss you
Tell me that you like
My old low down dirty California smile
So tired of their advice yeah
They say it’s time to settle down
I know they mean well inside but
I can’t quit running wild from town to town
Hold me for a while
And let me kiss you
Tell me that you like
My old low down dirty California smile
Sit by my side
Pour us some wine
By the ocean-side
I’m not leaving California
We will always get by
You and I with a Malibu ocean view
I’m so in love with you
So many yearning hearts I’ve taken
But I know my cheating days are through
Hold me for a while
And let me kiss you
Tell me that you like
My old low down dirty California smile
Hold me for a while
And let me kiss you
Tell me that you like
My old low down dirty California smile
Sit by my side
Pour us some wine
By the ocean-side
