Hollywood Hopeful

Lyrics

I am a full fledged, grown-up adult
 I'm tryin' make a dent, tryin' to get a result
 I'm hold up in a Hollywood hotel suite
 Tequila to drink and avocado to eat
 They got all kinds of victories and lots of downfalls
 They got drugs in the rugs and ghosts in the walls
 Starlets in the lobby that can make a man drool
 Blood on the curtains and a phone by the pool
 ♪
 Well I never did see so many TV stars
 And I never did see so many rented cars
 I never did see so many desperate eyes
 And I never did hear so many bold faced lies
 When I was ten years old, I was alive
 And the Benedict Canyon down on Hutton Drive
 Well now I'm right back in my old backyward
 And I'm tryin' to get a billboard on the boulevard
 I'm tryin' to get a billboard on the boulevard
 ♪
 Well I never thought I'd see the age of twenty-five
 And it's been twenty-eight years now that I've been alive
 And in a matter of months I will be thirty years old
 And the apprehension that I feel can hardly be told
 ♪
 I am a full fledged, grown-up adult
 I'm tryin' make a dent, tryin' to get a result
 I'm hold up in a Hollywood hotel suite
 ♪
 Tequila to drink and avocado to eat
 Tequila to drink and avocado to eat
