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
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
