The Golden State Lyrics

by City and Colour

(Chorus 1)
Why is everyone still singing about California?
Haven't we heard enough about the golden state?

(Verse)
I guess if you like sandy beaches and blue ocean water
There's just something about it to which I cannot relate

(Verse)
I need to see the leafs change and the snowflakes falling
I need to hear the colder wind whistling through the winter pines

(Chorus 1)
Why is everyone still singing about California?
Haven't we heard enough about the golden state?

(Chorus 2)
And people still follow their dreams to see California
And from time to time I'll pass on by, but I will never stay

(Verse)
Sure, there are beautiful people in the city of lost angels
They're living they're kings and queens from some royal age

(Verse)
But fortune and fame won't save you when California
Is whipped down by the ring of fire or a great earthquake

(Chorus 1)
Why is everyone still singing about California?
Haven't we heard enough about the golden state?

(Chorus 2)
And people still follow their dreams to see California
And from time to time I'll pass on by, but I will never stay

No, I will never stay
Never stay
Never stay
