Goodnight Hollywood

[Verse 1]
I've been walking circles all up and down the avenue
Been doin' dirty things I told myself I'd never do
I do an awful lot of grinnin' for a man who's gone insane
I do an awful lot of winning for a man who's lost his way
So they say

[Chorus]
Goodnight, goodnight, Hollywood
I tried to make you proud and I wish I could
I was lookin' for a song to play
But they never come that way
When they're good
Goodnight, Hollywood

[Verse 2]
I called up all the Joneses to find out what they'd been up to
Talked to a soapbox preacher, tried to learn a thing or two
I do an awful lot of guessing for a man afraid to fail
I do a pretty good impression of a man who's doin' well
Can't you tell

[Chorus]
Goodnight, goodnight, Hollywood
I tried to make you proud and I wish I could
I was lookin' for a song to play
But they never come that way
When they're good
Goodnight, Hollywood
Goodnight, goodnight, Hollywood

[Bridge]
I get my kicks on the other side of town
Far away from city lights and sounds
I don't know what to say
There ain't no other way
Than to let you down, down

[Chorus]
Goodnight, goodnight, Hollywood
I tried to make you proud and I wish I could
I was lookin' for a song to play
But they never come that way
When they're good
Goodnight, Hollywood
Goodnight, goodnight, Hollywood
Goodnight, goodnight, Hollywood
