Goodbye cold, goodbye rain Goodbye sorrow, and goodbye shame I'm headin' out west with my headphones on Boarding 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 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 a house by the sea I gotta belive 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, down Get down
