Ellis Paul - Goodbye Hollywood Lyrics
You poured sand in my pocketsYou said, "Here's your piece of Hollywood -"You gave me your reasonsYou say you miss the four seasons,You said the angels here are up to no goodI've seen you walk like Charlie ChaplinI've seen you cry like Natalie WoodSometimes I wish I could read youlike a silent movie caption'Cause if I could get in your head,you know I would,I would(chorus)You said, "Let's pack our boots,our rhinestone suits andtake a walk on the wirefeel the weight of the truthSometimes, you gotta tearthe big top down, downI gave the town all that I couldSay goodbye to Hollywood"I get this postcard from IowaYou're on a wrap-around porchin a sunflower seaYou're running with the scarecrowsYou got me spinning like a windmill'Cause there's an empty stool in LAnext to me(chorus)Turn the lights on the marquee low'Cause baby I'm ready to goSo I packed a one way suitcasewith my booksand my wing-tipped shoesa pair of blue jeans,a postcard and my six-string,and a picture that I took of you(chorus)Sometimes you know you gotta leave and then you shouldSay goodbye to Hollywood
