California

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 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
