lyrics
Tell me won't you take me to L.A.
In the sunshine and the sea
And everything you wanna be is there
Cruising down on Rodeo Drive
I think I'm coming alive
Just feels like everything is happening here
Coz then I'll be happy
Living the old dream
Now if you take some time
You just might find
You've something worth giving
And if you spend the day
In another way
You just might be living
Like Garbo in some old grey movie
Chasing diamonds in the land of the free
Tried out on the Hollywood scene
It wasn't quite what it seemed
And expectations end in our broken dreams
Never really made it that far
At least I followed my heart
And now I'm working the Rodeo bar
Coz there I'll be happy
Serving the new dreams
Now if you take some time
You just might find
You're a little bit human
And if you've run away to another day
there's something worth giving
Like Garbo in some old grey movie
Chasing diamonds in the land of the free
A desert island in the hard knock city
Like Garbo in some old grey movie, yeah
Tell me won't you take me to L.A.
In the sunshine and the sea
And everything you wanna be is there
Cruising down on Rodeo Drive
I think I'm coming alive
Just feels like everything is happening here
In the sunshine and the sea
And everything you wanna be is there
Cruising down on Rodeo Drive
I think I'm coming alive
Just feels like everything is happening here
Coz then I'll be happy
Living the old dream
Now if you take some time
You just might find
You've something worth giving
And if you spend the day
In another way
You just might be living
Like Garbo in some old grey movie
Chasing diamonds in the land of the free
Tried out on the Hollywood scene
It wasn't quite what it seemed
And expectations end in our broken dreams
Never really made it that far
At least I followed my heart
And now I'm working the Rodeo bar
Coz there I'll be happy
Serving the new dreams
Now if you take some time
You just might find
You're a little bit human
And if you've run away to another day
there's something worth giving
Like Garbo in some old grey movie
Chasing diamonds in the land of the free
A desert island in the hard knock city
Like Garbo in some old grey movie, yeah
Tell me won't you take me to L.A.
In the sunshine and the sea
And everything you wanna be is there
Cruising down on Rodeo Drive
I think I'm coming alive
Just feels like everything is happening here
