California

1. I was converted to the other side

From the day I'd gotten there,

I met a girl who took me on a ride

I was young I had no cares

R: When I moved to California

California

2. She played me records I had never heard

While we toked on purple hairs

Who, Zeppelin, Beatles

Kiss, The Rolling Stones

While we played guitars in air

R: When I moved to California

California

California

California love!

*: Venice Beach and P.O.P.

Station 26 was free

Jeff Ho and Horizons west

Dogtown Skates they were the best

Hang Ten, O.P. were the brands

Don't forget the two-tone Vans

3. I miss the Apple and my schoolyard boys

Nothing ever will compare

But now I skateboard

With my surfer girl

And we really are a pair

R: When I moved to California

California

California

California love!
