[Verse 1]
Blue jean shorts, and a sweater
I didn't know if she was hot or cold
I told her on the day that I met her
I was never gonna let her go
There's a spark in her eyes when she's smilin'
Lights a fire in my soul
When she touches me, the flames get higher
And it's burnin' outta control

[Chorus]
The years go by, my heart knows I miss California
Highway 1, halfway to Hollywood, miss California
Sunset dippin' in the water never looked this good
I just wanna watch her all-day
When she comes in and out like a wave
She puts her moonlight lips on my face and she goes
There she goes, miss California

[Verse 2]
Putting X's on the page, counting down the days
Until the summer was gone
Sex on the beach, and her older brother's weed
Polaroids and Coppertone

[Chorus]
The years go by, my heart knows I miss California
Highway 1, halfway to Hollywood, miss California
Sunset dippin' in the water never looked this good
I just wanna watch her all-day
When she comes in and out like a wave
She puts her moonlight lips on my face and she goes
There she goes, miss California
[Bridge]
Oh, Miss California
Yeah, oh
Oh, Miss California

[Chorus]
Highway 1, halfway to Hollywood, miss California
Sunset dippin' in the water never looked this good (Whoa)
I just wanna watch her all-day
When she comes in and out like a wave
She puts her moonlight lips on my face and she goes
There she goes, miss California

[Outro]
Oh, she's Miss California, yeah
Oh-oh, Miss California
