Goodbye cold, goodbye rain
00:29
Goodbye sorrow, goodbye shame
00:30
I'm headed out West with my headphones on
00:35
Boarding a flight with a song in the back of my soul
00:39
And no one knows
00:43
I just found out her ghost left town
00:46
The Queen of California is a steppin' down, down
00:50
Hello beauty, hello strange
00:58
Hello wonder, what's your name?
01:04
Looking for the sun that Neil Young hung
01:09
After the Gold Rush of 1971
01:13
I just found out her ghost left town
01:18
The Queen of California is a steppin' down, down
01:25
If you see her say, "Hello"
02:08
Just don't tell me, "I told you so"
02:16
Joni wrote Blue in her house by the sea
02:17
I gotta believe there's another color waiting on me
02:23
To set me free
02:28
I just found out her ghost left town
02:31
The Queen of California is a steppin' down, down
02:35
02:43

Goodbye cold, goodbye rainGoodbye sorrow, goodbye shame
I'm headed out West with my headphones on
Boarding a flight with a song in the back of my soul
And no one knows
I just found out her ghost left town
The Queen of California is a steppin' down, down
Hello beauty, hello strange
Hello wonder, what's your name?
Looking for the sun that Neil Young hung
After the Gold Rush of 1971
I just found out her ghost left town
The Queen of California is a steppin' down, down
If you see her say, "Hello"
Just don't tell me, "I told you so"
Joni wrote Blue in her house by the sea
I gotta believe there's another color waiting on me
To set me free
I just found out her ghost left town
The Queen of California is a steppin' down, down
