(Crowe/Durand)
What`s in L.A. for a southern girl like you
What can you get that you can`t find here
`cept solid air
You know southern charms
Not a currency `round there
So you buy your gun
You build a house
Raise an attorney
Civil defence
You know the neighbour with the roses
He`s firing blanks and Jesuses and Josephs
At the sun
Till he finds you -
you`re the lucky one
Litigation follows on follows on follows on
What`s in L.A. for an eastern debutante
Cross the bridges cross the country cross your heart and hope to live
In a big white house
With Captain Blood and Mickey Mouse
What`s in L.A.
For a man of the North
Fantasies are made
Wives are sold
Lives are bought
Blank sheet of paper well that`s ok just bring a pen
(yells)
I came out of the west it was a sunset
Golden red a soldiers dread
flamed by injustice
I bought a Volvo
Sold some shoes with my cell phone
I paid my dues
Undid the screws
I bought an answer phone
I`m from nowhere, I`m from nowhere
I`m from nowhere, I`m from nowhere
