Goodbye Hollywood Lyrics

by Ellis Paul

You poured sand in my pockets
You said, "Here's your piece of Hollywood -"
You gave me your reasons
You say you miss the four seasons,
You said the angels here are up to no good

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e87970-ellis_paul~goodbye_hollywood_lyrics.html ]
I've seen you walk like Charlie Chaplin
I've seen you cry like Natalie Wood
Sometimes I wish I could read you
like 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 and
take a walk on the wire
feel the weight of the truth
Sometimes, you gotta tear
the big top down, down
I gave the town all that I could
Say goodbye to Hollywood"

I get this postcard from Iowa
You're on a wrap-around porch
in a sunflower sea
You're running with the scarecrows
You got me spinning like a windmill
'Cause there's an empty stool in LA
next to me

(chorus)
Turn the lights on the marquee low
'Cause baby I'm ready to go

So I packed a one way suitcase
with my books
and my wing-tipped shoes
a 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 should
Say goodbye to Hollywood
