Lyrics
Goin' Crazy In L.A. ©Pat Flanakin
Words & Music by Pat Flanakin
Oh I, I still see her face
She was smilin' in the sun
As the bus just drove away
And she, she said she would not stray
She said she'd wait for me
While I made it out in L.A.
I remember it well girl
It seems like only yesterday
I had all of my dreams in my pocket
But they just faded away
Sometimes, it sometimes rains
And all the stars and the bars and the cars
Just wash away
And at night, I sometimes pray
Of if God could hear me now
He'd help me find my way
CHORUS
Goin' crazy in L.A.
BREAK
Why, why do I stay
If I could figure it out
You know I'd pack my bags today
Oh but I, I've learned to play the game
And now I'm trapped like a rat
That runs laps in a cage
CHORUS
Goin' crazy in L.A.
CHORUS
Goin' crazy in L.A.
