[Verse 1]
Got a friend in East L.A
She asks when I'm on my way
Going wading, water's warm
But I've heard the sirens swarm
[Pre-Chorus]
Ohh, I've been tracing the same old lines
Ohh, leave it all behind
[Chorus]
Run west, sell your soul
Over to the sunny side
Where the fire takes a toll
And still they call it paradise
When I'm really there I'll know
If I could call her my own
Ooh, if its L.A. then you can say I told you so
[Verse 2]
Year in Boston turns to two
Sick and safe in hometown blues
Steady sailing, family car
It won't get me very far
[Pre-Chorus]
Ohh, I've been tracing thе same old lines
Ohh, leavе it all behind
[Chorus]
Run west, sell your soul
Over to the sunny side
Where the fire takes a toll
And still they call it paradise
When I'm really there I'll know
If I could call her my own
Ooh, if its L.A. then you can say I told you so
[Bridge]
I wanna breathe in something new
I wanna give in to the blue
I wanna breathe in something new, oh
I wanna give in to the, ahhh
[Chorus]
Run west, sell your soul
Over to the sunny side
Where the fire takes a toll
And still they call it paradise
Oh, when I'm really there I'll know
If I could call her my own
Baby, if its L.A. then you can say I told you so
[Outro]
Oh, when I'm really there I'll know
If I could call her my own
Ooh, if its L.A. then you can say I told you so
