GONE HOLLYWOOD
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's just heartbreaking
I should have known that it would let me down
It's just a mind aching
I used to dream about this town
It was a sight to see
The place to be,
Where the living is easy
And the kicks can always be found
It's such a shame about it
I used to think that it would feel so good
But who's to blame about it
So many creeps in Hollywood
I'm in this dumb motel
Near the 'Taco Bell'
Without a hope in hell
I can't believe that I'm still around
Ain't nothin new in my life today
Ain't nothing true it's all gone away
I've had too much cryin', seen too much grief
I'm sick of tryin' it's beyond belief
I'm tired of talking on the telephone
They're trying to tell me that they're not at home
Ain't nothing new in my life today
I'm tired of walking from place to place
I've yet to come across a friendly face
And now the words sound familiar, as them slam the door
"You're not what we're looking for"
Ain't nothing new in my life today
Ain't nothing true it's all gone away
If we only had time, only had time for you
If we only had time, only had time for you
If we only had time, only had time for you
It was a heartbreaking
Now I ride in a big fine car
It was mind aching
I'm the talk of the boulevard
So keep your chin up boy
Forget the pain
I know you'll make it
If you try again
There's no use in quitting
When the world is waiting for you
