California Girls

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You roll your sleeves by the boardwalk rail Salt on your collar, sun on your face You point out a kite caught over the pier Then laugh when it dives and disappears [Chorus] California girls, you turn the whole day gold Barefoot on the shoreline, fearless and bold You race the tide back to the parking lot With sand in your shoes and a story to tell [Verse 2] You split a peach from a paper sack Trade me the half with the sweetest bite A radio hums from a beachside shop You tap your heel till the afternoon stops [Chorus] California girls, you turn the whole day gold Barefoot on the shoreline, fearless and bold You race the tide back to the parking lot With sand in your shoes and a story to tell [Bridge] When the last bus leaves and the coast goes quiet You wave from the window, then change your mind Run back laughing, your sandals in hand And pull me along where the warm waves land [Final Chorus] California girls, you turn the whole day gold Barefoot on the shoreline, fearless and bold You race the tide back to the parking lot With sand in your shoes and a story to tell [Outro] You’ve got the whole summer tucked in your smile Stay for another mile
