She hangs around, the boulevard
She's a local girl with local scars
She got home late, she got home late
She drank so hard the bottle ached
And she tried and she tried and she tried and she tried
But nothing's clear in a bar full of flies
So she takes and she takes, she takes and she takes
She understands when she gives it away
Man I gotta get out of this town
Man I gotta get out of this pain
Man I gotta get out of this town
And out of LA
She's so ashamed, she's so ashamed
She knows heaven don't want her anyway
She left a note, by the phone
"Don't leave a message 'cause this ain't no home"
And she cried and she cried and she cried and she cried
She cried so long her tears ran dry
And she laughed and she laughed, she laughed and she laughed
'Cause she knew she was never comin' back
She said
"Man I'm gonna get out of this town
Man I'm gonna get out of this pain
Man I'm gonna get out of this town
Out of this town
And out of LA"
It's all she loves
It's all she hates
It's all too much for her to take
She can't be sure, just where it ends
Or where the good life begins
So she took a train, she took a train
To a little old town without a name
She met a man, he took her in
And fed her all the same bull again
'Cause he lied and he lied and he lied and he lied
He lied like a salesman, sellin' flies
So she screamed and she screamed and she screamed and she screamed
"It's a different place but the same old thing
"It's all I love
It's all I hate
It's all too much for me to take
I can't sure, where it begins
Or if the good life lies within"
So she said,
"Man I gotta get out of this town
Now I gotta get back on that train
Man I gotta get out of this town
And out of my pain
So I'm goin' back to LA"
