california lyrics

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 Tten, 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
