Born and raised in the windy city
|
I moved West to kickstart a dream
|
What I found was a town without pity
|
That'll chew you up and swallow you clean
|
|
I'm amazed at the life I'm livin'
|
Don't want to seem like I'm rockin' the boat
|
But it ain't all about taking but giving
|
I feel something tuggin' at my coat
|
No one ever told me it would be like this
|
That there'd be something called home
|
That's too hard to miss
|
|
I'm saying goodbye to the glamour
|
Back to the old neighborhood
|
All that I need is a place 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 glamour
|
Life never tasted so good
|
All that I need is a place I can breathe
|
I'm saying goodbye to Hollywood
|
|
Me and the Mrs. Done made up our minds
|
Were gonna give our boys a little less sunshine
|
Call it runnin' say what you like
|
I've got my own definition of paradise
|
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 glamour
|
Back to the old neighborhood
|
All I need is a place I can breathe
|
I'm saying goodbye to Hollywood
|
|

Goodbye Hollywood
