Hollywood Nights

by Wet Willie's Jimmy Hall

Lyrics
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
Oh, 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 on those twistin', turnin' roads
Higher and higher and higher they climbed

On those Hollywood nights
In those Hollywood hills
She was lookin' so right
In her diamonds and frills
On those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
She had all the right skills

He 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 let her get away
He saw that face and he lost all control
Yeah, he had lost all control, oh yeah

Night after night and day after day it went on and on
Then came that morning he woke up alone
He spent all night starin' down at the lights of L.A
Wonderin' if he could ever go home

On those Hollywood nights
In those Hollywood hills
It was lookin' so right
It was givin' him chills
In those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
With the passion that kills

Hollywood nights
Hollywood hills
She was lookin' so right
With her diamonds and frills
Hollywood nights
Hollywood hills
Above all the lights
She had all the right skills
Hollywood nights
Hollywood hills
