Haven’t we heard enough about the Golden State? I guess if you like sandy beaches and blue ocean water There’s just something about it to which I cannot relate I need to see the leaves change and the snowflakes falling I need to hear the call the wind whistling through the winter pines Why’s everyone still singing about California? Haven’t we heard enough about the Golden State? And people still follow their dreams to sweet California And from time to time I?ll pass on by but I will never stay Verse 2: Sure there are beautiful people in the city of lost angels They’re living like they’re kings and queens from some royal age But fortune and fame won’t save you when California Is wiped out by the ring of fire or a great earthquake Why’s everyone still singing about California? Haven’t we heard enough about the Golden State? And people still follow their dreams to sweet California And from time to time I?ll pass on by but I will never stay Outro: No I will never stay Never stay Never stay

La chanson évoque une certaine lassitude face à l'obsession collective pour la Californie, souvent idéalisée pour ses plages et son climat. L'artiste exprime un besoin de diversité, de voir les saisons changer et de ressentir la magie de l'hiver. Il souligne que malgré la beauté des lieux, la célébrité et la richesse ne garantissent pas la sécurité, surtout dans un endroit vulnérable aux catastrophes naturelles. À travers ses paroles, il suggère que chacun devrait poursuivre ses propres rêves, même s'ils ne se trouvent pas dans cet État doré tant célébré.
