I grew up in a big white house
On a quiet street, in a peaceful town
Where everyone seems happy
But it's not the kind of life I dreamed of
I wanna go where the streets are alive
Where each day is a risk and the stakes are so high
Cause you never really win unless you got the guts to take a gamble
And I'l write the perfect song
And I'll find a different way to sing, yeah
Before it gets too late I will make my big escape
Say goodbye to yesterday
Hello L.A.
Won't forget where I came from
When I'm the man that I become
Yes I want my way
Hello L.A.
Had a girl about a year ago
And her eyes were like the ocean
Brighter than the snow
I tried to make her happy
But she told me I was going nowhere
So I packed it up and I drove out west
Wrote her a letter and I wished her the best
And I know she'll be sorry when she finds out that I'm going somewhere
And I wrote the perfect song
And I found a different way to sing, yeah
Before it gets to late I will make my big escape
Say goodbye to yesterday
Hello L.A.
Won't forget where I came from
When I'm the man that I'll become
Yes I want my way
Hello L.A.
And I'll write the perfect song
And I'll find a different way to sing, yeah
Before it gets to late I will make my big escape
Say goodbye to yesterday
Hello L.A.
Won't forget where I came from
When I'm the man that I'll become
Yes I want my way
Hello L.A.
Before it gets too late I will make my big escape
Say goodbye to yesterday
Hello L.A.
Won't forget where I came from
When I'm the man that I'll become
Yes I want my way
Hello L.A.
