California (Hustle And Flow) Lyrics

Running around like you're front page news
Lonely eyes and your motorcycle boots
Tattooed heart and your jet-black hair
Running 'round like you don't careTake me down
Take me on down the lineWell, I was born, babe, with nothing to lose
But the black man taught me how to sing the blues
Made a little life outta rock 'n' roll
And that crazy California hustle and flowTake me down
Take me on down the line
Shake me down
Shake me on down the lineI went too fast with that rhythm and booze
Almost ended up dead like all those other fools
Everyone's got some sort of ball and chain
What's life without a little pain?Take me down
Take me on down the line
Shake me down
Shake me on down the lineLiving in a Hollywood movie dream
And I'm still reaching for the stars

Life gets hard and then it gets good
Like I always knew it wouldRunning around like you're front page news
Lonely eyes and your motorcycle boots
Tattooed heart and your jet-black hair
Running 'round like you don't careTake me down
Take me on down the line
Shake me down
Shake me on down the lineTake me down
Take me on down the line
Shake me down
Shake me on down the line
