Hootie & The Blowfish - Miss California Lyrics






Blue jean shorts and a sweater
I didn't know if she was hot or cold
I told her on the day that I met her
I was never gonna let her go
There's a spark in her eyes when she's smiling
Lights a fire in my soul
When she touches me the flames get higher
And it's burning out of control

The years go by
My heart knows I
Miss California
Highway one
Halfway to Hollywood
Miss California
Sunset dipping in the water never looked this good
I just wanna watch her all day
But she comes in and out like a wave
She puts her moonlight lips on my face
And she goes
There she goes
Miss California

Putting Xs on a page counting down the days
Until the summer was gone
Sex on the beach and her older brother's weed
Polaroids and Coppertone

The years go by
My heart knows I
Miss California
Highway one
Halfway to Hollywood
Miss California
Sunset dipiing in the water never looked this good
I just wanna watch her all day
But she comes in and out like a wave
She puts her moonlight lips on my face
And she goes
There she goes
Miss California

Oh...
Miss California

Oh...
Miss California
Highway one
Halfway to Hollywood
Miss California
The sunset dipiing in the water never looked this good, oh, no
I just wanna watch her all day
She comes in and out like a wave
She puts her moonlight lips on my face
And she goes
There she goes
Miss California...

Oh
She's Miss California
Yeah...
Oh...
Miss California

  3. J.... G....

    Anyone know why the intro to the song sounds soo familiar. My brain keeps thinking I've heard it in like end credits somewhere.

  4. d.... ....

    What a great and catchy song! Every Hootie and the blowfish album has at least one song that you want to play over and over again and sing to it. This is the one for me!

  5. G.... ....

    Wanna be there.california.

  6. J.... G....

    I WANT TO DEDICATE THIS SONG TO ROBYN MARIE PROCTOR,,,,✌,💘,YOUR FRIEND JOSEPH????

    Miss California Is A Great Song And Masterpiece By Hootie & The Blowfish.

  12. B.... B....

    Gosh this man can tell a story in a song like no one I've ever heard. My favorite singer ever.

  13. v.... ....

    Rollin' is fantastic. Miss California... ehhh, not so much. This being said as a Hootie fan since Fairweather Johnson who's excited for Imperfect Circle.

    I'm just not a fan of this song though. Just feels "weaker" than Rollin'.

    v.... ....

    Big disagree. This is my favorite of all the releases so far! It's a perfect old school Hootie feel. It has that distinct Mark Bryan guitar.

  14. D.... E....

    Just classic Hootie! What a contribution to my life...so thankful!!!

  15. N.... S....

    Lovely, tuneful song! Ahhhh.....

  16. T.... ....

    Great new song. Got that classic Hootie sound. Love it.

  17. J.... W....

    This is FANTASTIC!!! Saw the guys for the first time right before college graduation at JMU in Harrisonburg, VA 1993. They played a tiny place called Jokers Pub and Deli and had beers with my friends and me between sets. GREAT people and I hope this album blows up for them. They deserve it.

  18. T.... S....

    I vote yes!

  19. K.... B....

    For you ❤

  20. e.... p....

    Hell yes !!!

  21. R.... P....

    YES!!!!! You're just like the old friend I haven't seen in far too long 🤘

  22. T.... ....

    Fantastic!!! Dean-Jim-Mark -Darius it's like "Cracked Rear View" all over again !!!! Uncle Sam sent me to South Carolina in 1989 where I first got a chance to hear your sound! When you had the "FREE" concert here in Columbia in The PARK we were watching and it was like Hootie & The Blowfish were the centre of the universe that night to this day we have never had a chance to see you live again but we have stayed fans when I was in Kuwait I wanted to take your trade mark baseball cap with me but I couldn't even find one they had sold out at that time maybe I will find one this time or on ebay ...I made a poster when your metal sculptor was being unveiled and was able to get all your autographs as tons of us waited to see you guys! I am a water person a ocean person a west coast spirit at heart even after living here in the Carolina's and in Columbia over 20 plus years and prior to that traveling all over the world 5 times to visit Paris and married in Germany I lived twice in Turkei growing up in Britain and on both coasts of the states. Miss California reminds me of Seattle and Puget Sound of the Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf and growing up in the Big VA and the Chesapeake Bay! Keep on groovin & God Bless & God Speed citizen of the world and HOOtie & Blowfish fan 4 LIFE

  23. J.... J....

    Hootie!!

  26. J.... ....

    Oh...lord i am so happy for this!!!!....long,long time waiting😎😎😎🙂🙂🙂

  27. M.... A....

    Can't wait to see them in the UK on the 12th October and this album could be the best ever, love the first two tracks

    M.... A....

    We went Monday in Leeds absolutely fantastic. Great set. Few great surprises

  28. l.... p....

    I don't know who Hootie and the blowfish are but I sure damn love Mr Rucker

    l.... p....

    Funny thing about that is you'd probably have no clue who Darius is if not for hootie

    l.... p....

    Join our FB fan group and we will give you a crash course on Hootie. https://www.facebook.com/groups/truefanjohnsons/ Everyone needs Hootie in their lives!

    l.... p....

    Only the greatest 90s college alternative rock band that made it big! And that success was because of their front man, the Mr. Darius Rucker.

  29. D.... P....

    Oh heck yeah!!! Hootie is back. Dang skippy!!! One happy Momma here..WHOOP!!!!

  30. S.... P....

    Two singles from the upcoming album, both awesome and was worth the wait

    S.... P....

    I know, right? I'm freaking out waiting on it. New Hootie. It's been too long.

  31. L.... C....

    My daughter and I have seen you (Hootie) at least 10 times....most recently in Yuba County , Ca. You never fail to hit the mark. I always said that one day I would be too old and my daughter wouldn’t want to go to a concert with me. You are the glue that keeps us going together. I’m 64 and she’s still hanging with the old mom! One day we hope to make it to Monday After the Masters. Thanks to Darius, Mark and the guys we are still singing along to your songs...together. Love you all and God Bless.

  32. M.... C....

    Beautiful songwriting guys, how about a Scattered, Smothered, & Covered part 2?

  33. J.... J....

    Been waiting for a long time for you guys to put out a new album. And I absolutely love your country music Mr. Rucker

  34. c.... i....

    This really worked as Hootie or Darius Rucker. Kudos!

    c.... i....

    I thought the same thing. At times it sounds like a Darius country song. Then suddenly it sounds like classic Hootie. I love it.

  35. o.... ....

    Brilliant in his own right ! What a voice !!

  36. F.... S....

    Wow!!! Bravo!!

  37. S.... M....

    One of my favorite voices. A blessing to have vocal abilities like this 💜.

  38. A.... P....

    God gave you a distinct voice that can make any song beautiful. 💗

    A.... P....

    Anna P B Amen!!

  39. M.... ....

    Oh sweet Jesus

    M.... ....

    I know I almost climaxed too!! :D

  40. T.... A....

    So pumped for November!

  41. A.... G....

    So good! Huge sounding mix!

  42. V.... I....

    So will there be another tour to promote the new album after it comes out?

    V.... I....

    Officially they haven’t said anything about it. The original plan was tour, then album, then Darius would make a new album. But if the record is anywhere near as popular as the tour, I can’t see them not doing another leg to support it.

    V.... I....

    We went to see them in Leeds UK Monday. Best gig ever. They were phenomenal

  43. N.... P....

    Great new song!

  44. P.... S....

    Big Hit

  45. P.... K....

    Beautiful! Yay!

  46. R.... R....

    Oh.. can this be real?! I have EVERY Hootie album.. and Darius's R&B and first 2 country albums.. I secretly wanted more Hootie.. dreams do come true!!

    R.... R....

    Lol November 1st a new album

    R.... R....

    Right there with you! I was working at a record store in Chapel Hill in 1994 when Mark Bryan came in with bumper stickers talking about how Hootie had a new album coming out and it was going to be huge. He didn't even have a store-play copy yet. The only thing they were known for at that time was playing frat parties. We put the bumper sticker on the store vacuum cleaner. A few weeks later they were on Letterman and I said, "That guy was just in my store!" I've been a fan ever since.
    I would like to see them bust out something from Darius's R&B album. It is underrated.

    R.... R....

    @PumpkinTuna .. NICE!! I saw them in concert August, 1995 with Edwin McCain opening and it was awesome.. I'm so glad DR has such great success in Country.. but the world needs Hootie too
