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
That 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.

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 colour waiting on me
To set me free.

I just found out her ghost left town
The Queen of California is stepping down, down.
