Boulevard Of Broken Dreams lyrics

Bob Corbin (Bro N` Sis, BMI; Coljes, BMI)1995



Well, they call me Hollywood, out on the street

I`ll be your guide tonight, the boulevard`s my beat

Gonna meet a lotta hustlers, who wanta make the big score

Take a ride with me, I`ll give you the tour

Life is hard here and nothin`s ever like it seems

Down on the boulevard, the boulevard of broken dreams

Sally, she`s a dancer, down at the Lightnin` Bar

They put dollars down her g-string, while she dreams she`s a star

Billy`s a bouncer, he writes books on the side

But he`s gotta use his muscle to keep the drunks in line

Life is hard here...

Old Piano Jack, playin` barrell-house blues

He says the style`s comin` back and he believes it`s true

Lisa`s an actress, that what she tells me

From the johns I`ve seen her with, I guess she`d have to be

Life is hard here...

If you`re wonderin` who I am , I`m the one to blame

You can call me Hollywood, though I have many names

I`m the one who lures you, from the cities and the towns

I`m the man behind the curtain, shoutin` A come on down

Life is hard here...
