It's just like California
In my mind
I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna run, I'm gonna fly
In those sun-drenched Santa Monica skies
It's just like California
When you smile
It feels so good, it feels so great, It feels so fine, every time
On a hot summer San Francisco night
Feels just like California
It's all right
I'll hold my breath, I'll hold you close, I'll hold the line, we'll be fine
Down the Pacific Coast Highway drive tonight
It's just like California
In our minds
We're gonna walk, we're gonna run, we're gonna fly, so high
In those sun-drenched Santa Monica skies
On a hot summer San Francisco night
Down the Pacific Coast Highway drive tonight
