Jesus and the California Kid 
oh what Jesus did, for the California kid 

There's a school kid on the coastline 
who's the textbook case of cool 
He's out of sight he surfs alright 
and he ain't nobody's fool 
He's got a face that fits on GQ 
and a natural taste in style 
And everybody likes hime 
with that million dollar smile 

Well you might think he parties 
and gets and girl he want 
And he hangs out with the wicked 
but he needs no silly stunts 
He got a different kind of attitude 
that most cool dudes don't have 
He's got a personal life with Jesus 
and he walks on the narrow path 

Jesus and the California Kid 
oh what Jesus did, for the California kid 

One time God became a man 
and He walked upon the earth 
He didn't have a cool car 
and I don't think he liked to surf 
But he mst of had something in common 
to do what He did 
'Cause He died for you and I 
and He died for the California Kid 

Jesus and the California Kid 
oh what Jesus did, for the California kid
