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 and had no cares When I moved to California California She played me records I had never heard While we toked on Purple Hears 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.
