Just a voice on the telephone
You seem so far away
Talking broken dreams
And broken guitar strings
Don't got too much to say
You spend most nights
At the boardwalk
Just staring out at the sea
Drowning in the lights of Los Angeles
Thinking about the way
Things used to be
Girl won't you go back home
California is no place to be alone
Took out west some years ago
Was just too big for that town
Hell I got that roaming in me too
Never known to stay around
It's just another night in Hollywood
Just another night alone
Thinking about things
And what you'd change
Knowing that the chance
Is f****** gone
Such a sweet young thing
How long will it be
Blinded by those stage lights
Honey can't you see
Girl won't you go back home
California is no place to be alone
Girl won't you go back home
Not gonna make, not gonna make
It all alone
You seem so far away
Talking broken dreams
And broken guitar strings
Don't got too much to say
You spend most nights
At the boardwalk
Just staring out at the sea
Drowning in the lights of Los Angeles
Thinking about the way
Things used to be
Girl won't you go back home
California is no place to be alone
Took out west some years ago
Was just too big for that town
Hell I got that roaming in me too
Never known to stay around
It's just another night in Hollywood
Just another night alone
Thinking about things
And what you'd change
Knowing that the chance
Is f****** gone
Such a sweet young thing
How long will it be
Blinded by those stage lights
Honey can't you see
Girl won't you go back home
California is no place to be alone
Girl won't you go back home
Not gonna make, not gonna make
It all alone
