Out where the citrus and the palm trees sway
All of the dreamers like to come and play
To have a star out on the walk of fame
The whole world was gonna know our names now
We used to ride out on the boulevard
was so in love right from the very start
our destination didn’t seem so far
Why did you have to go and break my heart
Well I gave you all I had
But you didn’t love me back
So, goobdbye, Los Angeles
You made me cry, Los Angeles
But I learned to fly in Los Angeles
And I’ll be fine, Los Angeles
While I complain about the car I drive
Right down the street they’re barely gettin by
How did it happen when did we go blind?
And stop believin that we could make it right
So many people and we’re all alone
You got your problems and I got my own
Out for myself is such a lonely place
I wanna go where someone knows my name
Well I’ll love you to the end
But I need to start again
So, goodbye, Los Angeles
You made me cry, Los Angeles
But I learned to fly in Los Angeles
And I’ll be fine, Los Angeles
I learned to fight baby I am tough
You taught me never to give up
But now I am so rough
My skin would not bleed if it were cut
I found myself and who I am not
And I would not do as you have done
Wanted to ride off with you all the way to the sun
So, goobdbye, Los Angeles
You made me cry, Los Angeles
But I learned to fly in Los Angeles
And I’ll be fine, Los Angeles
