This is the town where I stayed six years
This is the place where I drank too much beer
This is the city that taught me to cry
In my car all alone on the 405
I was young and thought I was tough
I had ideas and I wrote them all down
But this came to that I never saw it through
Now I'm thinking a lot about what never grew
So goodbye Los Angeles
You're draining me dry like the lake you stole
Goodbye Los Angeles
I'm running away from your concrete heart
This is the mountain where we parked my car
We climbed in the back all tangled in arms
If I could go back and shout, "You had it all wrong
This feeling won't last
It won't last very long"
So goodbye Los Angeles
You're draining me dry like the lake you stole
Goodbye Los Angeles
I'm running away from your concrete heart
