Lyrics
ONE DAY IN L.A. (5)

IT WAS CALIFORNIA, 'ROUND TWO THOUSAND FIVE
YOU PLAYED HARD TO GET, GIRL, STILL I MADE YOU MINE
I JUST HAD TO HAVE YOU, WANTED YOU TO STAY
BUT I WATCHED YOU WALK AWAY, ONE DAY IN L.A.
HANGIN' OUT IN PLACES WHERE WE USED TO GO
PLAYIN' IN A ROCK BAND, GOT SONGS ON THE RADIO
STILL LOOK FOR YOU WHEN PLAYIN' FOR A CROWD
AND I'VE MASTERED ALL THE WAYS THAT LONELINESS SOUNDS
SEEIN' FAMOUS PEOPLE WALKIN' DOWN THE STREET
L.A.'S IN MY BLOOD, IT'S WHERE I LIVE AND BREATHE
I'M A ROCK N' ROLLER, DRUMMING OUT MY SOUL
CHASIN' OUT ALL MY DEMONS AND FANTASIES GONE COLD
HANGIN' OUT IN PLACES WHERE WE USED TO GO
PLAYIN' IN A ROCK BAND, GOT SONGS ON THE RADIO
STILL LOOK FOR YOU WHEN PLAYIN' FOR A CROWD
AND I'VE MASTERED ALL THE WAYS THAT LONELINESS SOUNDS
BRIDGE
WHAT DID YOU FIND ON THE OTHER SIDE OF US?
DID YOU FIND ANYBODY? DID YOU FIND SOMEONE TO TRUST?
HANGIN' OUT IN PLACES WHERE WE USED TO GO
PLAYIN' IN A ROCK BAND, GOT SONGS ON THE RADIO
HANGIN' OUT IN PLACES WHERE WE USED TO GO
PLAYIN' IN A ROCK BAND, GOT SONGS ON THE RADIO
STILL LOOK FOR YOU WHEN PLAYIN' FOR A CROWD
AND I'VE MASTERED ALL THE WAYS THAT LONELINESS SOUNDS
...THAT LONELINESS SOUNDS
(ADDED ENDING)
LOOKIN' OUT ON CLEAR BLUE WATERS, I SAIL AWAY
TO THE LAST TIME I SAW YOU, ONE DAY IN L.A.
