Discover the story of the song > Mendocino – Sir Douglas Quintet

The protagonist sings about his teenage lover who he caught a wave from and is now a groove that he wants to keep in his love house by the river. He worries about the fast-talking guys with strange red eyes who might put thoughts in her head, so he asks her to stay with him in Mendocino where they used to take walks and make love. Mendocino is a place where life is a groove and it's easy to blow your mind in the morning.
