Long Way To Hollywood

Oh babe I hate to leave you here
 Down in this one horse town
 Where the train runs through
 Your early mornin' dreams
 Just to leave that ol' wailin' sound
 Oh but I'm comin' back, I will return
 Now woman you wait for me
 I'm bound to travel the U.S.A.
 From the desert unto the sea
 I've got another song about the South
 You know it's white now and it's black
 There ain't no banjo on my knee
 But that song is still on my back
 It's a long, long way to Hollywood
 And it's a short, short chance for fame
 All them slicks people talkin' back home
 But I'll make it just the same
 Oh I'll make it just the same
 I've got a new song for all them old people
 Hoverin' down in the Georgia night
 Lord I know their wings are heavy now
 Cause they been on a lonesome flight
 All them poor old depression people babe
 You know they took a might heavy load
 All the children, kinfolks, cousins too
 Still walkin' down Tobacco Road
 Well if you tell me about Hank Williams Lord
 They're clingin' onto his fame
 I'm of the same race, I'm from the same place
 Got the same lonesome blood in my veins
 It's a long, long way to Hollywood
 And it's a short, short chance for fame
 All them slick people talkin' down home
 But I'll make it just the same
 Oh I'll make it just the same
 It's a long, long way to Hollywood
 And it's a short, short chance for fame
