Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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I ain't old, I'm just out of date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I ain't old, I'm just out of date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
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great golden state      In the late great golden state   I don't do much   But I'm always late   I ain't old, I'm just out of date   In the late great golden state      I caught one last glimpse   Of a palomino   When I drove out west   To see the purple sage   Then as canyons burned   And the mountains crumbled   The last cowboy band   Left the stage      I ain't old, I'm just out of date   In the late great golden state      Solo      I caught one last glimpse   Of a palomino   When I drove out west   To see the purple sage   Then as the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
