The Late Great Golden State Lyrics

By Dwight Yoakam
In the late, great golden state
It gettin hard to negotiate
When youre one slip from a grim fate
In the late, great golden state
In the late, great golden state
I dont do much but Im always late
I aint old, just out of date
In the late, great golden state
Bridge:
I got one last glimpse of the Palamino
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
I aint old, just out of date
In the late, great golden state
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
They can pack you up and send you home in crate
Stamped the late, great golden state
