How was California
Did they teach you how to surf
Was it everything they said it was
Was it all that you deserve
Did you hate the Golden State
Was it hollow just like you
Just like every place you go California's got the blues

How was Austin Texas
Did they greet you with a smile
Did you ride the pretty horses
Did you feel like you could stay awhile
Did you hate the Lone Star State
Was it loney just like you
Just like every place you go Austin Texas has the blues

How was New York City
Did you take a stroll in Central Park
Did you feel safe after dark
Did you hate the Empire State
Was it miserable like you
Just like every place you go New York City's got the blues
