Let it be printed

Let it be known

I`m leaving you

I`m Going Home



And all you can do

Is Just watch me go



I've put you down

I've talked you up

defended your honor

And packed it in and picked it up



And all you can do

Is Just watch me go



From the eastern seaboard

The land locked midwest

The keys the alps the black hills

and the Budapest



With my heart in a sling

tail between my legs

Swinging

I`m sorry for leavin'



But when the palm trees bow their heads

No matter how cruel I've been

LA, you always let me back in





And you can bury me when my body breaks

In the earth that created me

In the Golden State

My mama and her brother

And their Mama too



Cause I had a dream I was carried on backs

Of a thousand green birds

And they carried me to a place without words

And there was nothin' but there was everything



But when the palm trees bow their heads

No matter how wrong I've been

LA, you always let me back in





But when the palm trees bow their heads

No matter how cruel I've been

LA, you always let me back in
