Don't Grow Old in Hollywood
He was a young buck from the sticks
His dreams were in pipes and he wanted them quick
Every ditch he fell into
He climb right out and bought new shoes
Just when he though his game was on
Discovered it was wrong
Asked the stars how to beam so bright
This is what they said that night
Go for broke while your young
Move those feet and have some fun
Try everything, til you're good
But don't grow old in Hollywood
As time moved on got led astray
To find himself in a whole new way
Kept seeing those folks that had it all
As he rubbed them nickels against a wall
Went a bought a whole new skin
Thought it would help him to win
The clock ticked faster every year
Just a little longer he'd be out of here
Go for broke while your young
Move those feet and have some fun
Try everything until you good
But don't grow old in Hollywood
Best laid plans got the runaround
That young man couldn't be found
Got lost in glitter from the chosen ones
Despite the pain he still couldn't run
Wanted a small slice of the pie
Would he get there before he died
He's still here to this day
Bleeding his heart out swimming through the grey
Go for broke while your young
Move those feet and have some fun
Try everything until you good
But don't grow old
Don't grow old
Don't grow old in Hollywood
His dreams were in pipes and he wanted them quick
Every ditch he fell into
He climb right out and bought new shoes
Just when he though his game was on
Discovered it was wrong
Asked the stars how to beam so bright
This is what they said that night
Go for broke while your young
Move those feet and have some fun
Try everything, til you're good
But don't grow old in Hollywood
As time moved on got led astray
To find himself in a whole new way
Kept seeing those folks that had it all
As he rubbed them nickels against a wall
Went a bought a whole new skin
Thought it would help him to win
The clock ticked faster every year
Just a little longer he'd be out of here
Go for broke while your young
Move those feet and have some fun
Try everything until you good
But don't grow old in Hollywood
Best laid plans got the runaround
That young man couldn't be found
Got lost in glitter from the chosen ones
Despite the pain he still couldn't run
Wanted a small slice of the pie
Would he get there before he died
He's still here to this day
Bleeding his heart out swimming through the grey
Go for broke while your young
Move those feet and have some fun
Try everything until you good
But don't grow old
Don't grow old
Don't grow old in Hollywood
