Passing 'round a fifth where the cops couldn't find us

Sneakin' prime times just to catch a midnight buzz

Burnin' that gas till the last truck was runnin' on fumes.

Cotton on a limb by the honey run river

Jordans on the bank while you're jumpin' in with her

And talking them six strings and it gettin' me out there soon.

All them days were like waves

Yeah, they rolled, didn't know just how fast they would go

All them nights, paradise

We were young, we were dumb, burning hot like the sun

And you can't put a price on the good times that never get old

California gold

California gold.

Can't beat the view or the girls or the weather

Ain't it a shame you can't stay young forever?

Those three little words almost turned this honda around

Wonder what she's doing now.

All them days were like waves

Yeah, they rolled, didn't know just how fast they would go

All them nights, paradise

We were young, we were dumb, burning hot like the sun

And you can't put a price on the good times that never get old

California gold

California gold.

Always right there in the back of my mind

Them take-you-back-home roads get to rewindin'

Me right back to that old silver linin'.

All them days were like waves

Yeah, they rolled, didn't know just how fast they would go

All them nights, paradise

We were young, we were dumb, burning hot like the sun

And you can't put a price on the good times that never get old

California gold

California gold.

California gold

Whoa, yeah...

California gold.
