The city is a sea of lights
From Venice Beach to Hollywood & Vine
Drinking whiskey in my winter coat
An Empty Hearted Town sure gets coldDan Tana's by the Troubadour
Harry Dean singing Oh Danny Boy
After hours at the Overpass
Hour after hour at the OverpassI went looking for Warren Zevon's Los Angeles
I got turned around on Gower AvenueSo long, so long
I'm going back to Memphis with a picture and a song
So long, so long
I'm gonna find a jukebox everyone can sing along
Gonna find a jukebox everyone can sing alongWe took some pictures in a photo booth
Gotta give her credit where the credit is due
The pretty girls and the crowded streets
Like Desperados waiting Under The EavesFell in love but the love ran out
At Lucy's El Adobe by the Paramount
Margaritas under black palm trees
I've got time, no one is waiting for meI went looking for Warren Zevon's Los Angeles
I got turned around on Gower AvenueSo long, so long
I'm going back to Memphis with a picture and a song
So long, so long
I'm gonna find a jukebox everyone can sing along
Gonna find a jukebox everyone can sing alongIt's my own damn fault just how hard I fell
Never found the Hollywood Hawaiian HotelSo long, so long
I'm going back to Memphis with a picture and a song
So long, so long
I'm gonna find a jukebox everyone can sing alongSo long, so long
I'm going back to Memphis with a picture and a song
So long, so long
I'm gonna find a jukebox everyone can sing alongSo long, so long
I'm going back to Memphis with a picture and a song
So long, so long
I'm gonna find a jukebox everyone can sing alongSo long, so long
So long, so long
So long, so long
So long, so long
