Sublime - Garden Grove
[Verse]
AWe took this Gtrip to Garden AGrove.
It smelled like GLou-dog inside the Avan,    oGh yeah
AThis ain't no Gfunky regBmgae party,  
Gfive dollars at the Adoor.
It gets so Greal someAtimes, who Gwrote my Arhyme.  
I've Ggot the microAwave, got the GV.C.AR 
I Ggot the deuce-Adeuce in the Gtrunk of my Acar, Goh yeah    
AIf you only Gknew all the Alove that I Gfound 
AIt's hard to Gkeep my Asoul on the Gground   
You're a Afool, don't Gfuck around with my Adog
GAll that i see I Asteal, I Gfilled up my Agarage  
'cause Gin my mind 
[Chorus]
Amusic from Gjamaica all the lAove that I fGound, pull oAver there's a rGeason why my soAul's unGsound  
It's AYOU 
it's that Gshit stuck under my Ashoe
It's that Gsmell inside the Avan, 
It's my Gbed sheet covered with Asand 
Sitting tGhrough a shitty Aband, 
Getting Gdog shit on my Ahand  
Getting Ghassled by the Aman,
Waking Gup to an Aalarm  
Sticking Gneedles in your Aarm, 
Picking up Gtrash on the Afreeway 
Feeling Gdepressed every Aday, 
Leaving Gwithout making a Asound 
Pickin my Gdog up at the Apound, 
Livin in a Gtweeker Apad
Getting Gyelled at by my Adad,
Saying I'm Ghappy when I'm Anot 
Finding Grrroaches in the APOT
[Outro]
GOhhhhh ohhhhhhh A  
All these thGings I Ado  
They're Gwaiting for Ayou

The story behind the song

"Garden Grove" comes from Sublime's self-titled album, released shortly after the death of singer Bradley Nowell. The album itself was recorded during sessions marked by heavy drug use and partying, reflecting a period where Nowell was struggling with addiction. The lyrical themes across the album touch on relationships, prostitution, riots, and addiction, painting a vivid picture of the band's world. Playing this song channels the raw, unpolished energy and complex emotions that defined Sublime's sound.
