She hangs
around the boulevard
She's a local girl
with local scars
She got home late,
she got home late
She drank so hard
the bottle ached
And she tried and she tried
And she tried and she tried
But nothing's clear
in a bar full of lies
So she takes and she takes,
she takes and she takes
She understands when
she gives it away
She says
Man, I gotta get
outta this town
Man, I gotta get
outta this pain
Man, I gotta get
outta this town
Outta this town
and out of LA
She's so ashamed
she's so ashamed
She knows heaven
don't wonder anyway
She left a note
right by the phone
Don't leave a message
'cause this ain't no home
And she cried
and she cried
And she cried
and she cried
She cried so
long her tears ran dry
Then she laughed
and she laughed,
she laughed
and she laughed
'Cause she knew she
was never comin' back
She said Man, I'm gonna
get outta this town
Man, I'm gonna get
outta this pain
Man, I'm gonna get
outta this town
Outta this town
and out of LA
It's all she loves,
it's all she hates
It's all too much
for her to take
She can't be sure
just where it ends
Or where the good
life begins
So she took a train,
she took a train
To a little old
town without a name
She met a man,
he took her in
But fed her all the
same bull again
'Cause he lied
and he lied
And he lied and he lied
He lied like a
salesman sellin' flies
So she screamed
and she screamed
And she screamed
and she screamed
It's a different place
but the same old thing
It's all I love,
it's all I hate
It's all too much
for me to take
I can't be sure
where it begins
Or if the good
life lies within
So she said
Man, I gotta get
out of this town
Yeah and now I gotta
get back on that train
Man, I gotta get
out of this town
I'm outta my pain
So I'm goin' back to LA
Back to LA
Back to LA, oh
I'm going back to LA...
I'm going back to LA...
