Walkin' In LA

(album: So You Wannabe An Outlaw - 2017)

When you're walking in LA
Everybody knows that you're down
Nobody walks anyway any other way in this lonesome town
Nothing separating you and the street
But a dollar and the shoes on your feet

And you're walking in LA
When you're walking in LA
When you're walking in LA

When you're walking in LA
Ain't nobody knows you're alive
'Cause you're only as good in this city, they say, as the car you drive
Rolling by shiny and new
And there's nothing that a poor boy can do

When you're walking in LA
When you're walking in LA
When you're walking in LA

18 wheelers roaming by up on the 405
Well, I ain't going anywhere
'Cause I ain't got a ride

When you're walking in LA
Everybody passes you by
Maybe glance up in the rearview mirror and say who's that poor guy
Then you're staring at the taillights again
Of a Lexus or a Mercedes Benz

When you're walking in LA
When you're walking in LA
When you're walking in LA

[Spoken:]
Ladies and gentlemen, Johnny Bush

Weekend warriors cruising up and down the boulevard
Back to work on Monday morning, think they got it hard

When you're walking in LA
You might as well lay down and die
'Cause nothing's gonna be alright anyway no matter how hard you try
And a pedestrian in Beverly Hills
Ain't got any place to go but downhill

When you're walking in LA
When you're walking in LA
When you're walking in LA

When you're walking in LA
When you're walking in LA
When you're walking in LA

When you're walking in LA!
