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!
