Born and raised in the windy city I moved west to kick start a dream What I found was a town without pity It will chew you up and swallow you clean, yeah
I'm amazed at the life I'm living Don't want to seem like I'm rocking the boat But it ain't all about taking but giving I feel something tugging at my coat
No one ever told me it would be like this There'd be something called home that's too hard to miss
I'm saying goodbye to the glamor Back to the old neighborhood All that I need is a place that I can breathe I'm saying goodbye to Hollywood
Done my time in the hoodoo jungle Tired of waking up in another man's dream I've got the ball and I ain't gonna fumble Gonna make a winner of this team
All that ever mattered were the goals I chased Now, I'm ready to run in the human race
I'm saying goodbye to the glamor Life never tasted so good All that I need is a place that I can breathe I'm saying goodbye to Hollywood
Me and the Mrs. done made up our minds We're gonna give our boys a little less sunshine Call it running say what you like I've got my own definition of paradise, yeah, yeah
I'd rather be knee deep in snow than knee deep in jive I may be cold but my soul is alive
I'm saying goodbye to the glamor Back to the young neighbor All that I need is a place that I can breathe I'm saying goodbye to Hollywood, yeah, yeah, yeah now
I'm saying goodbye to Hollywood I'm saying goodbye to Hollywood, yeah, yeah, oh now [Incomprehensible] goodbye to Hollywood
