I don't do much but I'm always late

I caught one last glimpse of a palomino (palomino)
C#m B A Asus4 A Asus4 A
When I drove out west to see the purple sage (purple sage)

Is a nice place for a clean slate

Of the late great golden state cause

They can pack you up and send you home in a crate
C#m B E
Stamped the late great golden state
