Standing on Nevada's shoreline gazing out into the sea side
Watching california bubble underneath the oceantide

Memories of trolly cars, memories of Hollywood
Memories of all those stars they disappeared without a word

First the shaken and then the thunder
I guess it all just slipped right under
Goodbye California
The lord has trouble making his mind up
He giveth he taketh and that's the way things wind up
Goodbye California

Millions of people on the virgin coast line crying tears into the brine
Some for the gold, some for the lies, some for the ones that they'll never find

It'll take a lot of rain and a lot of time to dress the wounds that hurt inside
And for the one I love that I left behind, She'll always burn there on my mind

First the shaken and then the thunder
I guess it all just slipped right under
Goodbye California
The lord has trouble making his mind up
He giveth he taketh and that's the way things wind up
Goodbye California

Standing on Nevada's shoreline gazing out into the sea side
Watching california bubble underneath the oceantide
Thoughtless heartless cruel pacific soaking up nevada shore
You'll not have California's coast to slap round anymore
Goodbye California
