Down In Hollywood Lyrics

Down In Hollywood lyrics

WRITTEN BY RYLAND COODER & TIM LEE DRUMMOND 



Well did you hear the good news 

There's gonna be some bad blues 

Somebody sat down and played it all night long 

So go on and fill your brown bag 

Put on all your clean rags 

Let's go downtown and see what's goin'on 

Bing, take me down to Vine Street 

Stop when you hear the back beat 

We'II sneak on past the bouncer at the door 

Now I know he ain't lookin' 

Not when that band is cookin' 

'Cause he's watchin' the ladies dancin' on the floor



CHORUS: 



Down In Hollywood 

Better hope that you don't run out of gas 

Down In Hollywood 

They'll drag you right out of your car and kick your ass

In Hollywood 

There standing on a corner just waiting for a sucker like you

Down In Hollywood 

If you wanna stay healthy, keep a movin' right on through 



This stuff just started flowin' 

And some girl she is showin everything she's got 

Ooh it's a sight 

Some men would give a week's pay 

If she would just dance down their way 

And say, "Baby, I'm gonna take you home with me tonight" 



Now, outside the streets are shakin' 

I hear a couple windows breakin' 

Some poor fools gonna land himself in jail tonight 

Well all the hookers tryin' to pull your coat 

All the pimps reach out to cut your throat 

There ain't no way out of here without a fight 



(REPEAT CHORUS) 



Now Grandma told him not to go 

Little sister told him too 

But the poor boy just didn't listen like he should, that's too bad 

Hitchhiked all the way from Burbank 

Now he's gonna end up in the drunk tank 

Some old man say "Well that's the way it goes Down in Hollywood" 

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Down in Hollywood Down in Hollywood Ooh down in Hollywood 

Down in Hollywood Down in Hollywood Ooh in Hollywood 

Down in Hollywood Down in Hollywood Down in Hollywood
