She hangs around the boulevard
She`s a local girl with local scars
She got home late
She drank so hard the bottle ached
& she tried
but nothin`s clear in a bar full a flies
So she takes
She understands when she gives it away
She says
Man I gotta get outta this town
Man I gotta get outta this pain
Man I gotta get outta this town
Outta this town & out of L.A.
She`s gotta gun
She got a gun she calls the lucky one
She left a note right by the phone
Don`t leave a message `cause this ain`t no home
& she cried
She cried so long her tears ran dry
Then she laughed
`Cause she knew she was never comin` back
She said
Man I`m gonna get outta this town
Man I`m gonna get outta this pain
Man I`m gonna get outta this town
Outta this town & out of L.A.
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
to a little old town without a name
She met a man he took her in
but fed her all the same bullshit again
`Cause he lied
he lied like a salesman sellin` flies
So she screamed
it`s a different place
but the same old thang
It`s all I love It`s all I hate It`s all too much for me to take
I can`t be sure where it begins or if the good life lies within
So she said
Man I gotta get out of this town
Yeah now I gotta get back on that train
Man I gotta get out of this town
I`m outta my pain
So I`m goin` back to L.A
