:::::::::THE 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 Ten, O.P. were the brands

Don't forget the two-tone Vans

Solo

(the 2nd guitar should play the first riff while the first does the solo)

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 !
