She hangs around the boulevard

She's a local girl with local scars

She got home late

She drank so hard the bottle ached

& she tried

but nothin's clear in a bar full a flies

So she takes

She understands when she gives it away

She says



Man I gotta get outta this town

Man I gotta get outta this pain

Man I gotta get outta this town

Outta this town & out of L.A.



She's gotta gun

She got a gun she calls the lucky one

She left a note right by the phone

Don't leave a message 'cause this ain't no home

& she cried

She cried so long her tears ran dry

Then she laughed

'Cause she knew she was never comin' back

She said



Man I'm gonna get outta this town

Man I'm gonna get outta this pain

Man I'm gonna get outta this town

Outta this town & out of L.A.

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 or where

the good life begins

So 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 bullshit again

'Cause he lied

he lied like a salesman sellin' flies

So she screamed

it's a different place

but the same old thang

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 the good life lies within

So she said



Man I gotta get out of this town

Yeah now I gotta get back on that train

Man I gotta get out of this town

I'm outta my pain

So I'm goin' back to L.A
