Takin' a dip on the Sunset Strip in the mornin' Ain't nothing like the smell of tofu and high dollar wine Except maybe all of them cars lockin' down the I-5 I find it amazin', these rats I've been chasin' Are helpin' me remember a time
When the only LA I knew Was lower Alabama Back when me and Hannah Was wishin' on a southern star
Now it's so complicated, I really hate it Why'd I ever wanna go so far? Takin' depression pills in the Hollywood Hills Actin' like I'm playin' the part
All this grippin' and grinnin', bluesin' and winnin' and runnin' And promises break like an egg on the hot asphalt What the hell was I thinkin' drinkin' like I'd never get caught? These high dollar women and the fame and the fortune Ain't worth the ticket I bought
When the only LA I knew Was lower Alabama Back when me and Hannah Was wishin' on a southern star
Now it's so complicated, I really hate it Why'd I ever wanna go so far? Takin' depression pills in the Hollywood Hills Actin' like I'm playin' the part Takin' depression pills in the Hollywood Hills Actin' like I'm playin' the part
