Goodbye cold, goodbye rain Goodbye sorrow, goodbye shame I'm headed out west with my headphones on Boarded 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 stepping 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 stepping down, down [INSTRUMENTAL] 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 theres another color waiting on me To set me free I just found out her ghost left town The Queen of California is stepping down, down [INSTRUMENTAL]
