Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I was lookin' forward to

See where I was goin'

But I don't know if I can make it

No, I don't know if I could

Think I'm gonna try in Hollywood

[Verse 2]

Well, I had to find my way

By lookin' at the city

I don't know if I can fake it

If they tell me I'm no good

I think I'm gonna fry in Hollywood

[Verse 3]

Well, I'm a man

I was brought up right

I said my prayers every night since 1995

And I pray, God help me

I've done the best I could

But I think I'm gonna die in Hollywood

Think I'm gonna die in Hollywood

[Verse 4]

So I found the best advice

Go and get a job

But I don't know if I can take it

'Cause I never understood

How everybody lies in Hollywood

[Verse 5]

And somewhere I lost my mind

It's never comin' back

And I don't know if I can make it

And I don't know if I should

I think I'll say goodbye to Hollywood

[Verse 6]

Well, I'm a man

I was brought up right

I said my prayers every night since 1995

And I pray, God help me

I've done the best I could

But I think I'm gonna die in Hollywood

Think I'm gonna die in Hollywood

[Verse 7]

I think I'm gonna die in Hollywood

Think I'm gonna die in Hollywood
