"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

 

Oh, and now she's heading out to California

It's been a long time coming

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

 

Oh, and now she's heading out to California

And she doesn't know what's coming

But she sure knows what she's leaving 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

 

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..."
