Hollywood Face

Closing time at a Tulsa dive
Her drawer is 30 bucks, tips are 65
She makes these half-dead dirtbags feel alive
They file out the door, she warns them not to drive

As long as she remembers people been saying
You're beautiful baby, there's no sense in staying
So the car is packed up, getting out of this place
She's got that Oklahoma heart and that Hollywood face

Cocktails and laughs on Sunset and Vine
She's the talk of the town, she hears 'em whispering now
They can see her in movies, they can see her on TV
So she's taking meetings, skinny ties in the evening

It takes money to get skin in the game
Headshots and workshops, drop some vowels off your name
Older by the minute, no more seconds to waste
Each fleeting fickle moment with that Hollywood face

Years go by, everyone adores her
She landed a pilot, it didn't get ordered
She landed a pilot, she dated a lawyer
Moved in with a singer but he didn't love her

As long as she remembers people been saying
You're beautiful baby, there's no sense in staying
Her car is packed up, dropping out of the race
She's got that Santa Barbara heart and that Hollywood face
