Hollywood Hopeful (Live)

I never did see so many rented cars
I never did see so many desperate eyes
And I never did hear so many bold faced lies

When I was ten years old, I was alive
And the Benedict Canyon down on Hutton Drive
Well now I'm right back in my old backyard
Tryin' to get a billboard on the boulevard

Never thought I'd see the age of twenty-five
It's twenty-nine years now I've been alive
The panic I feel can hardly be told
In a matter of months I'll be thirty years old

All kinds of victories, lots of downfalls
Drugs in the rugs and ghosts in the walls
Starlets in the lobby that can make a man drool
Blood on the curtains and a phone by the pool

Yes I am a full fledged, grown-up adult
Tryin' make a dent, tryin' to get a result
I'm hold up in a Hollywood hotel suite
Tequila to drink and avocado to eat
