[Verse] From the San Fernando hills to the Irvine shore I hit the 405 but my patience wore Through the heart of LA where the engines hum The freeway sings its tune 'til the day is done [Chorus] Oh the 405 it's a winding maze Through the gridlock haze and the sunny rays From the Valley's crest to the airport's door I'll ride that highway forever more [Verse 2] Through Sherman Oaks where the palms stand tall Past the Getty Center where the shadows fall LAX looms with the planes in flight The city's pulse beats through the day and night [Bridge] Santa Monica calls but the lanes won't move In the bumper-to-bumper I find my groove Orange County's waiting at the southern end This endless stretch feels like my old friend [Chorus] Oh the 405 it's a winding maze Through the gridlock haze and the sunny rays From the Valley's crest to the airport's door I'll ride that highway forever more [Verse 3] Long Beach whispers with its ocean breeze As I crawl past Inglewood with such unease Hawthorne's near but the brake lights stay The 405 holds me captive today [Chorus] Oh the 405 it's a winding maze Through the gridlock haze and the sunny rays From the Valley's crest to the airport's door I'll ride that highway forever more
