Why I Came To California

[Verse 1]
Zuma, oh, I'd love to walk the beach on Zuma
Watching all the pretty girls
Venice, it gets really strange goin' through Venice
There's a different attitude
A romantic summer evening found me searching for the fire
The allusive sea of childhood then became a one desire
There were places in the valley where they said that I could find it
There were rhythms in the distance in the ancient elder forest

[Chorus]
That is why I came to California
It's the strangest groove that I have ever known
All the youths seekers come to California
Following the fountain in their mind

[Verse 2]
San Francisco, catch a cable car to where your dreams go
There's a lot of make believe
San Diego, from LA you'll find out where your dreams flow
From the hillside to the desert, following the map inside me
I can feel the road is leading to the treasure that will guide me
There were places in the valley, where they said that I could find it
There were rhythms in the distance in the ancient elder forest

[Chorus]
That is why I came to California
It's the freest groove that I have ever known
All the youths seekers come to California
Following the fountain in their mind
In their mind

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Zuma, oh, I'd like to walk the beach on Zuma
Watching all the pretty girls
Venice, it gets really strange goin' through Venice
There's a different attitude
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do?

[Chorus 2]
That is why I came to California
It's the purest groove that I have ever known
All the youths seekers come to California
Following the fountain in their mind
That is why I came to California
It's the strangest groove that I have ever known
All the youths seekers come to California
Following the fountain in their mind
In their mind
