Goodbye California

I used to ride these highways, as far as you could see
There were miles of amber waves of grain
Row crops of emerald green
Now, you're just a wasteland of dust and broken dreams
And all that's left are memories

Goodbye, California, you still got my heart
This view of you in my rearview is tearing me apart
The place I fell in love with, ain't the place you are today
So, goodbye, California
Wish that I could stay

First time that I saw you, there was beauty in your dreams
I thought that we might makе it, never thought I'd have to lеave
I prayed for hope and change, gave you a second chance
I can't say that I don't love you, but I've sure enjoyed this dance

Goodbye, California, you still got my heart
This view of you, in my rearview is tearing me apart
The place I fell in love with, ain't the place you are today
So, goodbye, California
You seem so far away

Ooh, ooh

When working hard hardly works
Can't keep up with the dollar
Even when it's free
You can't afford the water

Goodbye, California, look at the mess you made
Would've done anything for you, but you left me betrayed
Tears keep falling down, watching you go up in flames
Goodbye, California

Goodbye, California
Hope you come back someday
