Notes:

Ryan Adams to Uncut Magazine: "Written about the same subject as "Tomorrow".   My California phase was actually quite creative.  That was when I found out that my friend was sick.  It was during a Pink Hearts session and I was so upset I kicked them all out of the studio.  But I started playing around with the drum machine and this came out. Think I'd been listening to too much Radiohead when I recorded it."

Played Live:

Lyrics:

In California
Forever summer and hot
Into the ocean
You're smiling a lot
On sandy beaches
And the blankets are hot
You're in my arms
And I kiss your heart
Jesus, don't touch my baby
Jesus, don't touch my baby
Jesus, don't touch my baby
She's all that I got
Reflections coming
In through the sheets
You love your baby
[???] are sweet
Out on the highway
We ride tonight
Jesus don't know you
He was just saying "Hi"
Don't touch my baby
Jesus, don't touch my baby
Don't touch my baby
Jesus, don't
