Golden State Blues

Intro

Oh oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Yeah

Verse 1

Palms itch by the pier

Sky turns purple while the end is near

Staring at a sunset

That tastes like copper and regret

Borrowed a bicycle with a broken chain

To pedal through the pouring rain

Down on Seventh and Main

Trying to forget your name

Pre-Chorus

The canyon is calling out

Testing what I am about

Running thin on oxygen

Starting up the climb again

Chorus

Take me back to the golden state

Before the hills begin to break

Everything is vanity and Hollywood mistakes

Yeah it is all just high stakes

Take me back to the golden state

Before the hills begin to break

Verse 2

Sleeping on a cardboard floor

I cannot take the traffic anymore

Sirens singing like a ghost

Drifting further from the coast

Saw a man in a velvet suit

Selling seeds that have no root

Plastic fruit for the fame

In this town we are all the same

Pre-Chorus

The canyon is calling out

Testing what I am about

Running thin on oxygen

Starting up the climb again

Chorus

Take me back to the golden state

Before the hills begin to break

Everything is vanity and Hollywood mistakes

Yeah it is all just high stakes

Take me back to the golden state

Before the hills begin to break

Bridge

Underneath the massive sign

I am running out of time

Sun goes down

Sun goes down

Sun goes down on the concrete

Lost my mind in the heat

Chorus

Take me back to the golden state

Before the hills begin to break

Everything is vanity and Hollywood mistakes

Yeah it is all just high stakes

Take me back to the golden state

Before the hills begin to break
