Why I Came To California
Zuma
Oh I'd like to walk the beach on Zuma
Watching all the pretty girls
Venice
It gets really strange going through Venice
There's a different attitude
On a many a summer evening
Found me searching for the fire
The elusive 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
That is why I came to California
It's the strangest groove that I have ever known
All the youth seekers come to California
Following the fountain in their mind
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
That is why I came to California
It is the freest groove that I have ever known
All the youth seekers come to California
Following the fountain in their mind
In their mind
Zuma,
Oh I'd like to walk the beach on Zuma
Watching all the pretty girls
Venice
It gets really strange going through Venice
There's a different attitude
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do da-ya, da-ya
Do do do do do do do do do da-ya, da-ya
That is why I came to California
It's the purest groove that I have ever known
All the youth seekers come to California
Following the fountain
In their minds
That is why I came to California
It's the strangest groove that I have ever known
All the youth seekers come to California
Following the fountain
In their mind
In their mind
Oh I'd like to walk the beach on Zuma
Watching all the pretty girls
Venice
It gets really strange going through Venice
There's a different attitude
On a many a summer evening
Found me searching for the fire
The elusive 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
That is why I came to California
It's the strangest groove that I have ever known
All the youth seekers come to California
Following the fountain in their mind
San Francisco
Catch a cable car to where your dreams go
There's a lot of make believe

From LA you'll find out where your dreams flow
From the hillside to the desert

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
That is why I came to California
It is the freest groove that I have ever known
All the youth seekers come to California
Following the fountain in their mind
In their mind
Zuma,
Oh I'd like to walk the beach on Zuma
Watching all the pretty girls

It gets really strange going through Venice
There's a different attitude
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do da-ya, da-ya
Do do do do do do do do do da-ya, da-ya
That is why I came to California
It's the purest groove that I have ever known
All the youth seekers come to California
Following the fountain
In their minds
That is why I came to California
It's the strangest groove that I have ever known
All the youth seekers come to California
Following the fountain
In their mind
In their mind
