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!
