Lyrics Trampled By Turtles – I Went To Hollywood

I went to Hollywood, the timing was peculiar
Palm trees like you said there was, the viper room was open
Saw your face in the window there, like a light from everywhere
I went to Hollywood and I barely got out

I cut my teeth in the Middle West but I was born to ramble
Hit the brakes and I pull to the left, and every day is a battle
Pointed West and I hit the road where the streets are paved with gold
I got to Hollywood, I pulled over and cried

Thought that I might meet a movie star
Ended up flat-drunk in the Rainbow bar

Now everybody moved to Silverlake and no one sent a letter
The rent is high but the view is great, I guess they like it better
Spent the night on the street alone, guess that I’ll just head back home
I went to Hollywood but I showed up too late
