Dwight Yoakam - The Late Great Golden State Lyrics
In the late great golden stateIt's getting hard to negotiateWhen you're one slipFrom a grim fateIn the late great golden stateIn the late great golden stateI don't do muchBut I'm always lateI ain't old, I'm just out of dateIn the late great golden stateI caught one last glimpseOf a palominoWhen I drove out westTo see the purple sageThen as canyons burnedAnd the mountains crumbledThe last cowboy bandLeft the stageI ain't old, I'm just out of dateIn the late great golden stateSoloI caught one last glimpseOf a palominoWhen I drove out westTo see the purple sageThen as the canyons burnedAnd the mountains crumbledThe last cowboy bandLeft the stageYeah, the late great golden stateIs a nice place for a clean slateBut leave your expectationsAt the gateOf the late great golden stateCause they can pack you upAnd send you home in a crateStamped the late greatGolden state
