Playing the Part

Taking a dip on the Sunset Strip in the morning Ain't nothing like the smell of tofu and high-dollar wine They said maybe all of them cars locking down the I-5 Yeah, I find it amazing these rats I've been chasing Are helping me remember a time When the only LA I knew was Lower Alabama Back when me and Hannah were wishing on a southern star Now it's so complicated, I really hate it Why'd I ever want to go so far? Taking depression pills in the Hollywood Hills Acting like I'm playing the part All this gripping and grinning, losing and winning, and running Promises break like an egg on the hot asphalt What the hell was I thinking, drinking like I'd never get caught? These high-dollar women, and the fame and the fortune Ain't worth the ticket I bought When the only LA I knew was Lower Alabama Back when me and Hannah were wishing on a southern star Now it's so complicated, I really hate it Why'd I ever want to go so far? Taking depression pills in the Hollywood Hills Acting like I'm playing the part Taking depression pills in the Hollywood Hills Acting like I'm playing the part
