The story behind the song

"Road Trippin'" is a song from the Red Hot Chili Peppers' seventh studio album, Californication. This track tells the story of a road trip taken by Anthony Kiedis, John Frusciante, and Flea along the Pacific Coast Highway. After Frusciante rejoined the band, the three bandmates went surfing at Big Sur. Drummer Chad Smith was not on the trip due to other commitments and his lack of interest in surfing.
