California Life

I was staring at the ocean
When this angel caught my eye
In her polka-dot bikini
Sun glasses that matched the sky
As she was walking into the water
She winked at me and smiled
And said it feels just fine
No more waste of time
Just jump on in to my California life

I need a vacation
Something to clear my head
Too much time at the office
Not enough time to lay in bed
Don't know where I'm headed
We're driving toward the coast
Got a cooler full of cold ones,
Gonna find some girls I'd like to know
Someone to take me home
Someone to make me forget about THE past
And a life that I've never known

 I was staring at the ocean
When this angel caught my eye
In her polka-dot bikini
Sun glasses that matched the sky
As she was walking into the water
She winked at me and smiled
And said it feels just fine
No more waste of time
Just jump on in to my California life

I didn't need her permission
Cause I knew right away
She wouldn't mind if I took her out that night
Judging by the smile on her face
I ask her where she's been to
Why we haven't met before
Told me it's my state of mind,
I need to take a look outside the door
Sometimes I make her laugh
Other times she starts to cry
Tears of joy that's driving me wild

 I was staring at the ocean
When this angel caught my eye
In her polka-dot bikini
(lyric change) *Watching the waves roll by
As she was walking into the water
She winked at me and smiled
And said it feels just fine
No more wasting time
Just jump on in to my California life

This Cal-i-fornia life
Let's take a ride
On this golden state of mind
We'll own the night, we'll own the night

I was staring at the ocean
When this angel caught my eye
She said the water's fine
No more wasting time
Just jump on in to my California life
Just jump on in to my California life
