Why I Came to California - Dent May

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

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

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’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

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?

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
