Goodnight Hollywood by Jamestown Revival Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been walking circles all up and down the avenue
Been doin' dirty things I told myself I'd never do
I do an awful lot of grinnin' for a man who's gone insane
I do an awful lot of winning for a man who's lost his way
So they say
[Chorus]
Goodnight, goodnight, Hollywood
I tried to make you proud and I wish I could
I was lookin' for a song to play
But they never come that way
When they're good
Goodnight, Hollywood
[Verse 2]
I called up all the Joneses to find out what they'd been up to
Talked to a soapbox preacher, tried to learn a thing or two
I do an awful lot of guessing for a man afraid to fail
I do a pretty good impression of a man who's doin' well
Can't you tell
[Chorus]
Goodnight, goodnight, Hollywood
I tried to make you proud and I wish I could
I was lookin' for a song to play
But they never come that way
When they're good
Goodnight, Hollywood
Goodnight, goodnight, Hollywood
[Bridge]
I get my kicks on the other side of town
Far away from city lights and sounds
I don't know what to say
There ain't no other way
Than to let you down, down
[Chorus]
Goodnight, goodnight, Hollywood
I tried to make you proud and I wish I could
I was lookin' for a song to play
But they never come that way
When they're good
Goodnight, Hollywood
Goodnight, goodnight, Hollywood
Goodnight, goodnight, Hollywood
I've been walking circles all up and down the avenue
Been doin' dirty things I told myself I'd never do
I do an awful lot of grinnin' for a man who's gone insane
I do an awful lot of winning for a man who's lost his way
So they say
[Chorus]
Goodnight, goodnight, Hollywood
I tried to make you proud and I wish I could
I was lookin' for a song to play
But they never come that way
When they're good
Goodnight, Hollywood
[Verse 2]
I called up all the Joneses to find out what they'd been up to
Talked to a soapbox preacher, tried to learn a thing or two
I do an awful lot of guessing for a man afraid to fail
I do a pretty good impression of a man who's doin' well
Can't you tell
[Chorus]
Goodnight, goodnight, Hollywood
I tried to make you proud and I wish I could
I was lookin' for a song to play
But they never come that way
When they're good
Goodnight, Hollywood
Goodnight, goodnight, Hollywood
[Bridge]
I get my kicks on the other side of town
Far away from city lights and sounds
I don't know what to say
There ain't no other way
Than to let you down, down
[Chorus]
Goodnight, goodnight, Hollywood
I tried to make you proud and I wish I could
I was lookin' for a song to play
But they never come that way
When they're good
Goodnight, Hollywood
Goodnight, goodnight, Hollywood
Goodnight, goodnight, Hollywood
