HOLLYWOOD NIGHTS
 

SHE STOOD THERE AS BRIGHT AS THE SUN ON THAT CALIFORNIA COAST
HE WAS A MID WESTERN BOY ON HIS OWN
SHE LOOKED AT HIM WITH THOSE SOFT EYES SO UNREAL AND BLUE
HE KNEW RIGHT THEN HE WAS TOO FAR FROM HOME
OH    HE WAS TOO FAR FROM HOME
 

SHE TOOK HIS HAND AND SHE LEAD HIM ALONG THAT GOLDEN BEACH
THEY WATCHED THE WAVES TUMBLE OVER THE SAND
THEY DROVE FOR MILES ALONG THOSE TWISTING TURNING ROADS
HIGHER AND HIGHER     HIGHER THEY CLIMBED
 

AND THOSE HOLLYWOOD NIGHTS  AND THOSE HOLLYWOOD HILLS
SHE WAS LOOKING SO RIGHT   IN HER DIAMONDS AND THRILLS
OH THOSE BIG CITY NIGHTS     ON THOSE HIGH ROLLING HILLS
ABOVE ALL THE LIGHTS     SHE HAD ALL OF THE SKILLS
 

HE HEADED WEST 'CAUSE HE FELT THAT A CHANGE WOULD DO HIM GOOD
TO SEE SOME OLD FRIENDS GOOD FOR THE SOUL
SHE HADN'T BEEN BORN WITH  FACE THAT WOULD LET HIM GET AWAY
HE SAW THAT FACE AND HE LOST ALL CONTROL
YEAH       HE HAD LOST ALL CONTROL
 

NIGHT AFTER NIGHT DAY AFTER DAY IT WENT ON AND ON
THEN CAME THAT MORNING HE WOKE UP ALONE
HE SPENT ALL NIGHT STARING DOWN AT THE LIGHTS OF L.A.
WANDERING IF HE COULD EVER GO HOME
 

AND THOSE HOLLYWOOD NIGHTS  AND THOSE HOLLYWOOD HILLS
IT WAS LOOKING SO RIGHT     IT WAS GIVING HIM CHILLS
OH THOSE BIG CITY NIGHTS ON THOSE HIGH ROLLING HILLS
ABOVE ALL THE LIGHTS   WITH A PASSION THAT KILLS
