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
