Drive down sunset and the tears roll down my face
As the day goes by, I look the other way
When the sun goes down, I'm drinkin' margaritas
What's the problem, man? Don't call me a defeatist
'Cause that's L.A.
That's L.A.
I know she does have a pretty face
Oh, L.A.
And we'll take San Vicente to the sea
And watch the sunset, sippin' Mai Tais at Geoffrey's
And then a moonlit swim in the Delray
We'll let the ocean waves wash our cares away
Oh, oh, L.A.

The sunbaked boulevards are paved with broken dreams
They tell stories that won't make it to the screens
And when the sun goes down, I'm drinkin' at the tower
Days turn into weeks to years of happy hours
That's L.A.
That's L.A.
I know she does have a pretty face
Oh, L.A.

And we'll take San Vicente to the sea
