Big Ol' California

Gates Pass is bright in the key lights,
And the fill lights bring the nighttime to life,
And the backlights give the gunfights
A shine you don't ever see without
Big Ol' California coming 'round.
There was a movie called "Rio Bravo".
It had John Wayne and technicolor brothels.
When Big Ol' California turns its eye on you,
There ain't nothing much you can do
Except hang around 'til it forgets you.
When John Wayne died, he left his whole set behind.
There were Hollywood sights through the Nightfall
'Til the sunrise.
A classic Western sting rang through Sonora,
And from Kinney Road, we all saw California...
Running like hell, back where it came from,
Up the coastline!
When Big Ol' California turns away from you,
Well, we still got the studios, the rodeos,
The bank notes, the camera rolls, so...I dunno.
California freely gave us every trick it had,
But y'all got a state that tall and you still want my cowboy hat?
Shut the door like a John Wayne scene,
'Cause freely ye gave and freely ye shall receive!

A chilly midnight jam in a young Michael Stipe's basement, we've stayed in the country too long.
