[Verse 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

[Chorus]
When I moved to California
California

[Verse 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

[Chorus]
When I moved to California
California
California
(California)

[Bridge]
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
[Verse 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

[Chorus]
When I moved to California
California
California

[Outro]
California love
