Why I Left L.A.

It wasn't the traffic Mudslides or earthquakes The high price of gas Or the friends that were fake It was emerald green eyes Full of Hollywood dreams Moved west here from Texas When fate set the scene Lit the town like a sold out marquee Swore we were the silver screen Here to eternity Best chemistry casting Since that golden age But our love was a comedy Turns out the joke's on me Hear the audience laughin' When I roll back the tape He got so good at actin', no doubt that he added My heart to his resume That's why I left L.A. His humor and charm Roped me in right away Chasin' the stars Never thought they would fade Always had the right lines Like he stole from a script Misread all the signs Shinin' on sunset strip Swore we were the silver screen Here to eternity Best chemistry casting Since that golden age But our love was a comedy Turns out the joke's on me Hear the audience laughin' When I roll back the tape He got so good at actin', no doubt that he added My heart to his resume That's why I left L.A. Oh, did he love me at all Oh, 'til that curtain called Swore we were the silver screen Here to eternity Best chemistry casting Since that golden age But our love was a comedy Turns out the joke's on me Hear the audience laughin' When I roll back the tape He got so good at actin', no doubt that he added My heart to his resume He got so good at actin', I finally had it With being the part he played That's why I left L.A.
