Goodbye California Lyrics by Annie Bosko
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 tearin’ 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 make it
Never thought I’d have to leave
I prayed for hope and change
Gave you a second chance
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 tearin’ me apart
The place I fell in love with ain’t the place you are today
So goodbye California
You seem so far away
Ooo, ooo
When workin’ 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 ya
But you left me betrayed
The tears keep fallin’ down
Watchin’ you go up in flames
Goodbye California
Goodbye California
Hope you come back someday
