Lyrics

[Intro]
Uh, Lord
[Verse 1]
I'm gonna ride a sabertooth horse
Through the Hollywood hills
The farther West, the farther out
Yeah, that's the way I feel
[PreChorus]
Well, I dig the dirt
And I dig the dust
I barbecue my meals
Riding wild on a paisley dragon
Through the Hollywood hills, yeah
Huh, Hollywood hills
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna ride a sabertooth horse
Through the Hollywood hills
Just don't tell me anything
'Cause that's the way I feel
[PreChorus]
Well, I dig the dirt
And I dig the dust
I barbecue my meals
Riding wild on a paisley dragon
Through the Hollywood hills, yeah
Huh, Hollywood hills
[Chorus]
Passion drippin' from the coyote's eyes
He can taste his blood
And blood never lies, pale face die
True men don't kill coyotes
True men don't kill coyotes
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna ride a sabertooth horse
Through the Hollywood hills
The farther West, the farther out
Yeah, that's the way I feel
[PreChorus]
Well, I dig the dirt
And I dig the dust
I barbecue my meals
Riding wild on a paisley dragon
Through the Hollywood hills, yeah
Huh, Hollywood hills
[Chorus]
Passion drippin' from the coyote's eyes
He can taste his blood
And blood never lies, pale face die
True men don't kill coyotes
True men don't
[Verse 4]
I'm gonna ride a sabertooth horse
Through the Hollywood hills
Just don't tell me anything
'Cause that's the way I feel
[PreChorus]
Well, I dig the dirt
And I dig the dust
I barbecue my meals
Riding wild on a paisley dragon
Through the Hollywood hills, yeah
Huh, Hollywood hills
[Chorus]
Passion drippin' from the coyote's eyes
He can taste his blood
And blood never lies, pale face die
True men don't kill coyotes
True men don't
[Outro]
True men don't kill coyotes
True men don't
[Outro]
Oh!
True men don't kill coyotes
True men don't
