Carry me back Bury the hatch Pushing a tack in ♪ L.A., detach this beaten path I'm losing track of all the days I'm wasting On winning one thought I'm a real player, but I forgot all the rearranging My Gordian knot ♪ Carry me back Show me my past Looking through rose glass ♪ Missing my ma, missing my pa I'm losing track of all the days I've wasted In Hollywoodland All the cars and pavement Driving me mad But there's still a place that I understand ♪ Yes, I must be patient Playing this hand Got a couple aces Maybe a chance But, the lonely feeling Is it gonna last?
