Words and music by bob seger |
|
She stood there bright as the sun on that california coast |
|
He was a midwestern boy on his own |
|
She looked at him with those soft eyes, |
|
So innocent and blue |
|
He knew right then he was too far from home he was too far from home |
|
She took his hand and she led him along that golden beach |
|
They watched the waves tumble over the sand |
|
They drove for miles and miles |
|
Up those twisting turning roads |
|
Higher and higher and higher they climbed |
|
And those hollywood nights |
|
In those hollywood hills |
|
She was looking so right |
|
In her diamonds and frills |
|
All those big city nights |
|
In those high rolling hills |
|
Above all the lights |
|
She had all of the skills |
|
He'd headed west 'cause he felt that a change |
|
Would do him good |
|
See some old friends, good for the soul |
|
She had been born with a face that would her |
|
Get her way |
|
He saw that face and he lost all control |
|
He had lost all control |
|
Night after night, day after day, it went on and on |
|
Then came that morning he woke up alone |
|
He spent all night staring down at the lights of la |
|
Wondering if he could ever go home |
|
And those hollywood nights |
|
In those hollywood hills |
|
It was looking so right |
|
It was giving him chills |
|
In those big city nights |
|
In those high rolling hills |
|
Above all the lights |
|
With a passion that kills |
|
In those hollywood nights |
|
In those hollywood hills |
|
She was looking so right |
|
In her diamonds and frills |
|
All those big city nights |
|
In those high rolling hills |
|
Above all the lights |
|
She had all of the skills |
