Seems like only yesterday

We were packing up a truck and moving to LA

We were both only 18

But for once things were looking up

Stars were in our reach

Hello LA hello

There was the long drives of the 405

In search of the Sunset Strip

There was the bright lights

And the butterflies

The night of my first gig

Hello LA hello

Things were harder than we planned

We were living day to day

I was having problems with the band

Stars were further than they seemed

We spent less time chasing dreams

More trying to make ends meet

Hello LA hello

There was the long drives of the 405

In search of the Sunset Strip

There was the bright lights

And the butterflies

The night of my first gig

People who said we'd never last

A couple of dreamers going nowhere fast

We'll prove them wrong once we get to Hollywood

The cupboards were empty the nights were long

What didn't kill us only made us stronger

The sun always shines in LA

But when it rains it pours

And if things ever turn around

And these two lost angels

Are finally found

I'll make my name in this faceless town

And give my last unto you

I did it all for you

There was the long drives of the 405

In search of the Sunset Strip

There was the bright lights

And the butterflies

The night of my first gig

Hello LA Hello

Seems like only yesterday

We were packing up a truck and moving to LA

We were both only 18

But for once things were looking up

Stars were in our reach
