Goodbye cold, goodbye rain
Goodbye sorrow, and goodbye shame

I'm headin' 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 a-steppin' down, down

Hello beauty, hello strange
Hello wonder, what's your name?

Looking for the sun that Neil Young hummed
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 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, down
Get down
