It takes place in the 1970s on the streets of [N] LA.
There's three characters in it, Lucy, Ramona, and Sunset Sam, [G] each one looking for a plan.
This is from an album, I started off on an album called [D] Infinite Rider on Big Dogma,
which Jill and I [Fm] met on and did [G] together.
And then I put in a [Eb] long-form video called Elephant [D] Parts.
Which won the first [Eb] video Grammy, and I think it may be the only video [D] Grammy because
everybody has one since [C] then, a [D] thousand years ago.
Anyway, from Elephant Parts, this [G] is Cruisin'.
