Текст песни: Hollywood Years + перевод

Well I came to California

With a guitar on my knee

And a U-haul full of furniture

Little dreams of what I could be

Deep from the west with a song in my chest

And a foolish smile on my face

An innocent rube soon gone for good

That a darker muse would replace

With a song of sorrow

On a trail of tears

And a dream I followed

Through the Hollywood years

Well I hit the streets with my

Sack of sweets

And I peddled them at the store

But it didn’t take very long too see

The gargoyles guarding the door

To the perfumed garden any fool could tell

It was all happening over the wall

So I dressed in black to mourn the fact

I was headed straight for a fall

With a song of sorrow

On a trail of tears

And a dream I followed

Through the Hollywood years

Pull the strap down off your shoulder

Guard your heart and be a soldier

You’ll be dead if you get colder girl

You’re getting older

With a rumbling sound we were thrown to the ground

When the scales hit 6.1

And it left not doubt it was time to get out

But there was no place left to run

Out of cash Hollywood trash

Shoved to the edge of the shore

Packed my bag and raised the white flag

I just couldn’t buy in anymore

To the song of sorrow

And the trail of tears

And a dream I followed

Through the Hollywood Years
