I Went to Hollywood

I went to Hollywood, the timing was to kill ya
 Palm trees like you said there was,
 The viper room was up there
 Saw your face in the window there
 Like a light from everywhere
 I went to Hollywood and I barely got out
 I cut my teeth in the middle west but I was born to ramble
 Hit the brakes and I pull to the left, and every day is a battle
 Pointed west and I hit the road
 Where the streets are paved with gold
 I got to Hollywood, I pulled over and cried
 Thought that I might meet a movie star
 Ended up flat-drunk in the Ramo bar
 Now everybody moved to Silverlake and no one sent a letter
 The rent is high but the view is great
 I guess they like it better
 Spent the night on the street alone,
 Guess that I'll just head back home
 I went to Hollywood but I showed up too late
