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 there's 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
