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I ain't old, I'm just out of date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 The 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I ain't old, I'm just out of date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

|
|
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...
