1. 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
R: When I moved to California
California
2. 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
R: 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
3. 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
R: When I moved to California
California
California
California love!
