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

I just found out her ghost left town
The Queen of California is a-steppin' down, down

Hello beauty and 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

I just found out her ghost left town
I just found out her ghost left town
I just found out her ghost left town
Queen of California is a-steppin' down, down, down
Get down
