[Verse 1] 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.     [Verse 2] 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 heading out to California And she doesn’t know what’s comin’ but she’s sure of what she’s leaving behind And she left a little letter said she’s gonna make a stop in Nevada Goodbye goodbye. [Instrumental] [Bridge] 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 [Final 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.
