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
She tried and she tried
But nothing's clear in a bar full of flies.
So she takes and she takes
She takes and she takes
She understands when she gives it away
She says man I gotta get out of this town
Man I gotta get out of this pain.
Man I gotta get out of this town
Out of this town and out of LA.
She's got a gun she's got a gun
She got a gun she called the lucky one.
She left a note 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.
And 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 out of this town
Man I'm gonna get out of this pain.
Man I'm gonna get out of this town
Out of this town and out of LA.
It's all she loves Its 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 bulls**t again.
'Cause he lied and he lied he lied and he lied
He lied like a salesman sellin flies.
So she screamed and she screamed
She screamed and she screamed
It's a different place but the same old thing.
It's all I love Its 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 says man I gotta get out of this town
Now I gotta get back on that train.
Man I gotta get out of this town
I'm out of my pain so I'm goin back to L.A.
Back to L.A
Back to L.A
I'm goin back to L.A.
I'm goin back to L.A
