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 When I moved to California California
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
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
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
When I moved to California California California California love
