L A
L.A.
.
They say the city of angels
Is run by demons
Like many other cities
But I’m not sure
Riding my Harley
Through Hollywood and Vine
I see the signs
But still have Santa Monica still on my mind
.
Bought mementos
In Sacramento
And in Malibu, I almost lost my mind
In Rodeo drive I shopped
Until I dropped
Had a room in the Beverly Hills hotel
A place I know well
And in The Brown Derby I dined
.
L.A do you love me
As much
As I love you
They say in Hollywood
The streets are patched with gold
But I’ve seen the other side
The down and outs
And the Hollywood dolls sell their hides
.
Money speaks in tinsel town
And the rich and famous
Come out when the sun goes down
.
But for the homeless
On the sidewalks and highways
It’s just another night
To fight to survive
And stay alive
.
Been to Burbank and Oakland
And on Venice beach
I played my guitar on the sand
And watched the sun go down
As me and my partner
Walked hand in hand
.
L.A do you love me
As much
As I love you
They say in Hollywood
The streets are patched with gold
But I’ve seen the other side
The down and outs
And the Hollywood dolls sell their hides
.
Why I love L.A so much I’m not sure
But the more I visit
I just love it more.
