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
