Hellbent For Leather (feat. Steve Earle)
The fly-by-night carnival is closin' down
It's time to get off this merry-go-round
The kids and rubes have left the fairgrounds
The rock and roll gypsies gettin' out of town
Northeastern Oklahoma is callin' my name
Gettin' off the grid and the old shell game
Gonna transcend like Henry David Thoreau
Listen to the "Sweetheart Of The Rodeo"
So long, City of Angels
Goodbye Sunset and Vine
I'm leavin' for Oklahoma
Adios, Hollywood sign
The Warner's record deal fell apart in LA
The Technicolor life turned battleship grey
It's like I's Daniel in the lion's den
Except no spirit appeared to save my skin
So I'm leavin' here with a girl who shimmies
With her black eyeliner and her handful of gimme
Take a twin reverb with two blown speakers
Wear my John Varvatos Converse sneakers
So long, City of Angels
Goodbye Sunset and Vine
I'm leavin' for Oklahoma
Adios, Hollywood sign (two, three, four)
Gram Parsons was right about the 31st floor
The Earth is shakin', can't take it no more
So I'm headed due East, hellbent for letter
Might even get the band back together
So long, City of Angels
Goodbye Sunset and Vine
I'm leavin' for Oklahoma
Adios, Hollywood sign
So long, City of Angels
Goodbye Sunset and Vine
I'm leavin' for Oklahoma
Adios, Hollywood sign
It's time to get off this merry-go-round
The kids and rubes have left the fairgrounds
The rock and roll gypsies gettin' out of town
Northeastern Oklahoma is callin' my name
Gettin' off the grid and the old shell game
Gonna transcend like Henry David Thoreau
Listen to the "Sweetheart Of The Rodeo"
So long, City of Angels
Goodbye Sunset and Vine
I'm leavin' for Oklahoma
Adios, Hollywood sign
The Warner's record deal fell apart in LA
The Technicolor life turned battleship grey
It's like I's Daniel in the lion's den
Except no spirit appeared to save my skin
So I'm leavin' here with a girl who shimmies
With her black eyeliner and her handful of gimme
Take a twin reverb with two blown speakers
Wear my John Varvatos Converse sneakers

Adios, Hollywood sign
So long, City of Angels
Goodbye Sunset and Vine
I'm leavin' for Oklahoma
Adios, Hollywood sign
