Lyrics:
Road trippin’ with my two favorite allies
Fully loaded we got snacks and supplies
It’s time to leave this town, it’s time to steal away
Let’s go get lost anywhere in the U.S.A
Let’s go get lost, let’s go get lost
Blue you sit so pretty west of the one
Sparkles light with yellow icing just a mirror for the sun

Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for

So much as come before those battles lost and won
This life is shining more forever in the sun
Now let us check our heads and let us check the surf
Staying high and dry’s more trouble than it’s worth in the sun

Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for

In Big Sur we take some time to linger on
We three hunky dory’s got our snakefinger on
Now let us drink the stars, it’s time to steal away
Let’s go get lost right here in the U.S.A
Let’s go get lost, let’s go get lost
Blue you sit so pretty west of the one
Sparkles light with yellow icing, just a mirror for the sun

Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
Your smiling eyes are just a mirror for

An absolute masterpiece. One of the best Chili Peppers songs of all time.

[miniDroiDs]

I listened to this song with my bassist friend and 2-3 other musicians friends while my band and I were rehearsing in a small house for a week.
We really did relate to the melancholia, the atmosphere of the song. It was connected to this moment.

My friend passed away in February of 2021. I was a late for his burial day, and at the exact moment I went into the cemetery, this song was playing through the speakers before his coffin was about to get buried.
We never really talked too much about how this song was important for us, and when I heard it this day I felt numb and deeply sad.
And it hit me like a ton of bricks, how much we loved each other and how much I will miss him.

Chad's talent really shines in this song

[RPostVideos]

Chad gets writer credit for this song because he literally said that the song didn't need drums. That was his contribution! 😊

On this day in 2000, the music video for “Road Trippin’” was released. Directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris.

I can never understand how this song remains so underrated while it is such a wonderful song, nostalgia, calmness and peace together. I loved this song since the very first time I heard it and the solo violon section is just amazing.

[CommonSenseless]

Man Red Hot Chili Peppers are so versatile. They can do alternative, metal, funk, and acoustic ballads easily. 

[garagedays]

My father told me about Red Hot Chili Peppers, we both loved their music. I'll forever play your favorite bands for you dad. Love you dad. May God rest my fathers soul.

‘Road trippin with my two favourite allies’
Chad: 😐

[luizfilipe]

Maybe the most beautiful clip of Red Hot Chili Peppers

[handlog]

FOR THOSE WHO WANNA KNOW WHY CHAD AINT HERE I PICKED THIS UP FROM WIKIPEDIA:
The song tells of a road trip along the Pacific Coast Highway in which lead singer Anthony Kiedis, guitarist John Frusciante and bassist Flea surfed at Big Sur following Frusciante's return to the band. Drummer Chad Smith did not take the trip with his bandmates due to other commitments and also because he wasn't into surfing. As such, Chad Smith only appears briefly halfway through the video, arriving in a boat. As you can see here 1:50 there are 4 people.

[BeardedSkullBeats]

El bajo, los acordes de la guitarra, la orquesta y la armonía de las dos voces.. simplemente perfecta.

[SkaMasta]

I’m a drummer, but I love how they can make good sounding songs without drums. This song is beautiful!

[katec]

This feels like a very healing song after what those 3 especially went through with each other - Chad was never heavy into all the drama lol. Just seeing the 3 of them in their element together being peaceful and forgiving - it's the best. I understand why they only needed to play it a few times and moved on but I still wish they would bring it back cause it's one of their best songs ;)

[thegodfather]

This song is so beautiful and peaceful

[jacobbirdsong]

After countless years of searching, I have finally found a music video where Anthony Kiedis has a shirt on.

Road trippin' with my two favorite allies
Fully loaded we got snacks and supplies
It's time to leave this town, it's time to steal away
Let's go get lost anywhere in the USA
Let's go get lost, let's go get lost
Blue, you sit so pretty west of the one
Sparkles light with yellow icing, just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
So much as come before those battles lost and won
This life is shining more forever in the sun
Now let us check our heads and let us check the surf
Staying high and dry's more trouble than it's worth in the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
In Big Sur we take some time to linger on
We three hunky-dory's got our snakefinger on
Now let us drink the stars, it's time to steal away
Let's go get lost right here in the USA
Let's go get lost, let's go get lost
Blue, you sit so pretty west of the one
Sparkles light with yellow icing, just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
Your smiling eyes are just a mirror for

Folks Lyric Meaning :

1. "...This song is about a trip Anthony Kiedis took in rural California with John Frusciante and Flea: "Road Trippin with my two favorite allies." This trip consolidated their friendship in this new phase of The Red Hot Chili Peppers. The song reflects a more mature Kiedis, who wrote about this friendship triangle in "Under The Bridge" when he felt left out."

2. "... like the line "these smiling eyes are just a mirror for [the sun]"

it's an alternate way of looking at the value we place on ourselves as individuals. We look out from our eyes and see the world as though we were the center of it, and as though the world revolves around us. We are the main character in the story. But in this, our eyes are so much more insignificant. Simply mirrors for the sun.

It's humbling- but not debasing. I think the intent is not to say that we are worthless, but to say that we are small. Juxtaposed with the rest of the song, we need to let go because we are small and not significant, and must make the most of what we have. For them, it is hitting the surf. For another, it might be devotion to ones family, or religion, or the environment, or cooking if they love that- but do what is important to you, and remember your eyes are just a mirror for the sun."

3. "...to me this song means getting away with the people that mean most to you and it doesnt mater where you go, as long as the company is right your'e gonna have a good time and get away from your problem for a while"

Song Fact :
~ This is one of the few Red Hot Chili Peppers songs with no drums. Drummer Chad Smith appears only briefly at the end of the video, arriving in a boat

~ The Peppers used a Chamberlin Organ on this song to get the sort of orchestral sound. According to Anthony Kiedis and Chad Smith's interview on Music Express, the original intention was to get legendary Led Zeppelin musician John Paul Jones to arrange that part. They decided against it after seeing how much it would cost them.

[wiidub]

Probably the most underrated song ever made..

[buildplay]

John's back-up vocals...so soothing.
