He always found it hard to take her
She wouldn't listen to advice
And though he never tried to make her
She often thought it would be nice
Chorus:
Oh, and now she's headin' out to California
It's been a long time comin' but she's feeling
like a woman tonight
And she left a little letter said she's
gonna make a stop in Nevada
Goodbye, goodbye.
She tried for years to be a good wife
It never quite got off the ground
And all those stories of the good life
Convinced her not to hang around
Chorus:
Oh, and now she's headin' out to California
And she doesn't know what's comin'
But she sure knows what she's leavin' behind
And she left a little letter
Said she's gonna make a stop in Nevada
Goodbye. Goodbye
And though she finds it hard to leave him
She knows it would be worse to stay
He wouldn't understand the reasons
That make a woman run away
Chorus:
Oh, and now she's heading out to California
With some money in her pocket she's
a rocket on the fourth of July
And she left a little letter said
she's gonna make a stop in Nevada
Goodbye, good-Oh, and now she's
heading out to California
With some money in her pocket
she's a rocket on the fourth of July
And she left a little letter
said she's gonna make a stop in Nevada
Goodbye, goodbye.
