In the late great golden state |
|
It's getting hard to negotiate |
|
When you're one slip |
|
From a grim fate |
|
In the late great golden state |
|
In the late great golden state |
|
I don't do much |
|
But I'm always late |
|
I ain't old, I'm just out of date |
|
In the late great golden state |
|
I caught one last glimpse |
|
Of a palomino |
|
When I drove out west |
|
To see the purple sage |
|
Then as canyons burned |
|
And the mountains crumbled |
|
The last cowboy band |
|
Left the stage |
|
I ain't old, I'm just out of date |
|
In the late great golden state |
|
Solo |
|
I caught one last glimpse |
|
Of a palomino |
|
When I drove out west |
|
To see the purple sage |
|
Then as the canyons burned |
|
And the mountains crumbled |
|
The last cowboy band |
|
Left the stage |
|
Yeah, the late great golden state |
|
Is a nice place for a clean slate |
|
But leave your expectations |
|
At the gate |
|
Of the late great golden state |
|
Cause they can pack you up |
|
And send you home in a crate |
|
Stamped the late great |
|
Golden state |
