Goodbye Hollywood Lyrics

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
