He's out riding round in his '92 beater with the limo tints
With a smile on his face and he'll promise it's his biggest flex
Gonna be a star but
All he's seen so far is star dust
And he's still working at Starbucks
But giving up he's so far from that
I told him I could keep it keep it keep it keep it
If he would let me in
And tell me what's his secret secret secret
This is what he said
Stay golden
The California sun's not going
Anywhere so neither am I
Neither am I
Stay golden
The California state's not boring
Anytime so neither am I
Neither am I
He's browsing at the thrift store down every aisle to make a dollar stretch
He's picking up side work hustling day and night to pay his rent
He's gonna be a star but
All he's seen so far is star dust
His personality is bar none
And giving up he's so far from that
I told him I could keep it keep it keep it keep it
If he would let me in
And tell me what's his secret secret secret
This is what he said
Stay golden
The California sun's not going
Anywhere so neither am I
Neither am I
Stay golden
The California state's not boring
Anytime so neither am I
Neither am I
He's gonna be a star but
All he's seen so far is star dust
His personality is bar none
And giving up he's so far from that
Stay golden
The California sun's not going
Anywhere so neither am I
Neither am I
Stay golden
The California state's not boring
Anytime so neither am I
Neither am I
