Lyrics

Los Angeles
©Renaissance Boy Recordings

Well I?m going down to Los Angeles
I?ll be traveling like dust upon the breeze
I been walking for days and I?m changing my ways
And I been thinking about all the sunshine and haze
Pouring down like gold on Angeles

Well I?m a going down to Los Angeles
There?s a thirty foot length of rope hanging from the trees
I cannot abide by the men who?ve lied
Betrayed by friends and a mother?s pride
So I?m going down to Los Angeles

I?m a going down to Los Angeles
There?s a woman there with the sun between her knees
And like the other men I?ll try to call her my friend
Just to find myself at the business end
Of her gun, the kind you?d find in Los Angeles
?Nonetheless I?m a going down to Los Angeles

Look at that road (x2)
Unwinding ?round the hills and towns
Like a pavement scented thorny crown
I?m going on down to Los Angeles

I?m going down to Los Angeles
Gonna fall to the ground and pray there on my knees
Gonna ask the Lord for something more
Than a tired old book and a note on a door
I?m going down to Los Angeles
I?m going on down to Los Angeles
I?ve got a score to settle with the man in the middle of the sea
He took away my pride and left a hollow inside
And now I wanna curl up and drink a chromium rye
So I?m a going on down to Los Angeles

I?m going down to Los Angeles
I?m running from the one and the three
Salvation is more than a friend and a whore
With a couple of tricks and a head on the door
So I?m a going on down to Los Angeles

Look at that road (x2)
I?m a walking down the road I?ve found that leads my way out of this town
Don?t come around I?m bound for Angeles
Don?t come around here I?m bound for Angeles
Don?t come around I?m bound for Angeles
