Headed out west with my head phones on

Boarding a flight with a song in the back of my soul

The queen of California is steppin’ down, down...

Looking for the sun that Neil Young hung
Am                        G
After the Gold Rush of 1971

The queen of California is steppin’ 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
Am                                              G
I gotta believe there’s another color waiting on me...
G
To set me free
