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.
