Queen of California Lyrics

Lyric discussion by faizan 

Cover art for Queen of California lyrics by John Mayer

I think John is referring to his past self as the (drama) Queen of California.

Song Meaning

The song is also (clearly) a statement of the change that his musical style has undergone. "If you see her, say Hello" could be addressing fans and asking them to watch out for skeletons of his old style in the album. Something like Olivia, for instance. About that song I've heard many critics say "I told you so, nothing has changed. He's still his old womanising self."

Just a thought :)

Oh and one last observation :)

I'm headed out west with my headphones on (I'm taking a break, exploring new music, heading back to the drawing board) Boarded a flight with a song in the back of my soul (A song at the back of his soul playlist?)
