(Crowe/Durand)



What's in L.A. for a southern girl like you

What can you get that you can't find here

'cept solid air

You know southern charms

Not a currency 'round there

So you buy your gun

You build a house

Raise an attorney

Civil defence

You know the neighbour with the roses

He's firing blanks and Jesuses and Josephs

At the sun

Till he finds you -

you're the lucky one



Litigation follows on follows on follows on



What's in L.A. for an eastern debutante

Cross the bridges cross the country cross your heart and hope to live

In a big white house

With Captain Blood and Mickey Mouse



What's in L.A.

For a man of the North

Fantasies are made

Wives are sold

Lives are bought

Blank sheet of paper well that's ok just bring a pen



(yells)



I came out of the west it was a sunset

Golden red a soldiers dread

flamed by injustice



I bought a Volvo

Sold some shoes with my cell phone

I paid my dues

Undid the screws

I bought an answer phone



I'm from nowhere, I'm from nowhere

I'm from nowhere, I'm from nowhere
