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 !
