Lyrics
Ooh, ooh (golden)
Raised up on the west side
A young fam tryna start a new life
It was a humble start
Mom and dad are workin' extra hard
Pops, he used to take me in his bike and ride to Pioneer
Drop my brother off to school, the sky was blue and crystal clear
Wishing every day that I go back to that place
'Cause even though I'm here, that's where my heart stays
That golden state of mind
It stays with me all the time
Wherever I may go in life
I'm never on my own (ooh babe)
That golden state of mind
Tell me where to go so I can find
So I can find the place I call home
(I can find, I can find, I can find it)
Ooh, no
Ooh, no no no no no, yeah
Bring me back to the bay
Sit on the rooftops and watch the days pass by
We were so young and free
What I would give to live that peacefully again
Remember when we used to make those movies in the summer then
Go down to the park and just breathe in the Cali atmosphere
Stuck reminiscin' about that place
'Cause even though I'm here that's where my heart stays
That golden state of mind
It stays with me all the time
Wherever I may go in life
I'm never on my own (ooh babe)
That golden state of mind
Tell me where to go so I can find
I can find a place
Oh memories come and go
But these won't fade for sure
They're in my soul
When I'm there, I'm not alone
It's the place I'll always call my home
Ooh, that golden state of mind
It stays with me all the time
Wherever I may go in life
I'm never on my own (ooh babe)
That golden state of mind (golden stat of mind)
Tell me where to go so I can find
So I can find a place to call home
Golden state of mind yeah, ooh
