Welcome to Hollywood

I arrived on a one-way plane
Had no plans to go back from where I came
I had fifty dollars in my coat
I bought a map and a pack of smokes
And made my way out into the rain
I never thought I'd see her face
Out here on these California streets
And she looked good, but not as good as she used to
Back when I knew her
Then she smiled at me and said
Welcome to Hollywood
We're going to be big stars
Nobody thought we could
Out here in Hollywood
The years go by like a diamond sky
Time makes mysteries of our minds
And this city, man, she never sleeps
She just watches as we dream
And washes them away
And we live with our heads in the clouds
And believe that we're not coming down
And that we'll always be safe
Somewhere in the distant sounds
We're hear the voices crying out
And lying on the ground we hear them say
Welcome To Hollywood
We're going to be big stars
Nobody thought we could
Out here in Hollywood
Oh, out here in Hollywood
We're just trying to make our dreams come true
We never listened to anybody elses point of view
Out here in Hollywood
I arrived on a one-way plane
Had no plans to go back from where I came
I had a pocket full of broken dreams
I hitced a ride to New Orleans
And made my way out into the rain
