Hollywood Hopeful
I am a full fledged, grown-up adult
I'm tryin' make a dent, tryin' to get a result
I'm hold up in a Hollywood hotel suite
Tequila to drink and avocado to eat
They got all kinds of victories and lots of downfalls
They got drugs in the rugs and ghosts in the walls
Starlets in the lobby that can make a man drool
Blood on the curtains and a phone by the pool
Well I never did see so many TV stars
And I never did see so many rented cars
I never did see so many desperate eyes
And I never did hear so many bold faced lies
When I was ten years old, I was alive
And the Benedict Canyon down on Hutton Drive
Well now I'm right back in my old backyward
And I'm tryin' to get a billboard on the boulevard
I'm tryin' to get a billboard on the boulevard
Well I never thought I'd see the age of twenty-five
And it's been twenty-eight years now that I've been alive
And in a matter of months I will be thirty years old
And the apprehension that I feel can hardly be told
I am a full fledged, grown-up adult
I'm tryin' make a dent, tryin' to get a result
I'm hold up in a Hollywood hotel suite
Tequila to drink and avocado to eat
Tequila to drink and avocado to eat
I'm tryin' make a dent, tryin' to get a result
I'm hold up in a Hollywood hotel suite
Tequila to drink and avocado to eat
They got all kinds of victories and lots of downfalls
They got drugs in the rugs and ghosts in the walls
Starlets in the lobby that can make a man drool
Blood on the curtains and a phone by the pool
Well I never did see so many TV stars
And I never did see so many rented cars
I never did see so many desperate eyes
And I never did hear so many bold faced lies
When I was ten years old, I was alive
And the Benedict Canyon down on Hutton Drive
Well now I'm right back in my old backyward
And I'm tryin' to get a billboard on the boulevard
I'm tryin' to get a billboard on the boulevard
Well I never thought I'd see the age of twenty-five
And it's been twenty-eight years now that I've been alive
And in a matter of months I will be thirty years old
And the apprehension that I feel can hardly be told
I am a full fledged, grown-up adult
I'm tryin' make a dent, tryin' to get a result
I'm hold up in a Hollywood hotel suite
Tequila to drink and avocado to eat
Tequila to drink and avocado to eat
