Out where the citrus and the palm trees sway All of the dreamers like to come and play To have a star out on the walk of fame The whole world was gonna know our names now We used to ride out on the boulevard was so in love right from the very start our destination didn’t seem so far Why did you have to go and break my heart Well I gave you all I had But you didn’t love me back So, goobdbye, Los Angeles You made me cry, Los Angeles But I learned to fly in Los Angeles And I’ll be fine, Los Angeles While I complain about the car I drive Right down the street they’re barely gettin by How did it happen when did we go blind? And stop believin that we could make it right So many people and we’re all alone You got your problems and I got my own Out for myself is such a lonely place I wanna go where someone knows my name Well I’ll love you to the end But I need to start again So, goodbye, Los Angeles You made me cry, Los Angeles But I learned to fly in Los Angeles And I’ll be fine, Los Angeles I learned to fight baby I am tough You taught me never to give up But now I am so rough My skin would not bleed if it were cut I found myself and who I am not And I would not do as you have done Wanted to ride off with you all the way to the sun So, goobdbye, Los Angeles You made me cry, Los Angeles But I learned to fly in Los Angeles And I’ll be fine, Los Angeles
