Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Like a sound you hear
That lingers in your ear
But you can't forget
From sundown to sunset
[Verse 2]
It's all in the air
You hear it everywhere
No matter what you do
It's gonna grab a hold on you
California soul
California soul
[Verse 3]
They say the sun comes up every morning
And if you listen oh so carefully
The winds that ride on the high tide
Whistles a melody
And so the people started to sing
And that's how the surf gave birth, I'm told
To California soul, California soul
[Verse 4]
When you hear the beat
You wanna pat your feet
And you've got to move
'Cause it's really such a groove
[Verse 5]
Puts a brand new kind of thinking in your mind
And you can't go wrong
'Cause you're groovin' all day long
California soul
California soul
[Verse 6]
They had the melody and the beat
But it still didn't seem complete
Until they saw two lovers kissin', oh
They knew just what was missin'
So happy they were rockin' and reelin'
Because they added that lovin' feeling
To California soul
California soul
