She hangs around the boulevard
She's a local girl with a local scar
She got home late, she got home late
She drank so hard the bottle ached
And she tried and she tried
and she tried and she tried
But nothing's clear in a bar full of flies
So she takes and she takes,
She says, man, I gotta get out of this town
Man, I gotta get out of this pain
Man, I gotta get out of this town
She left a note by the phone
And she cried, and she cried,
and she cried, and she cried
She cried so long her tears ran dry
And she laughed, and she laughed,
she laughed, and she laughed
She said, man, I gotta get out of this town
Man, I gotta get out of this town
Man, I gotta get out of this town
It's all she loves, it's all she hates
It's all too much for her to take
She can't be sure just where it ends
So she took a train, she took a train
To a little old town without a name
She met a man, he took her in
But fed her all the same, lies again
He lied like a salesman selling flies
Cause she screamed and she screamed
and she screamed and she screamed
It's a different place but
It's all I love, it's all I hate
It's all too much for me to take
I can't be sure where it begins
Or if a good life lies within
I gotta get out of this town,
now I gotta get back on that train.
Man, I gotta get out of this town,
so I'm going back to L .A.
