L.A. Makes Me Sad

L.A. makes me sad every time I go

'Cause there's a girl out there that I used to know

And we said we'd love each other right until the end

Now she's back living with my ex-best friend

And those memories hang like relics on some museum's wall

Like our old place on Sunset we used to fall

And I wonder, oh, I wonder if she ever thinks of me

As I walk these hopeless, lonely L.A. streets

So take me back to Texas

You know it's where I belong

Take me back to Austin

Well, I never should have left at all

And please grant me forgiveness so I can start to grow

Don't want L.A. to make me sad anymore

I miss that old beer joint down in Venice

Oh, the one the drunks all know

Made me feel like for a second this was home

Raised my glass with the freaks

And the ones I'll never show

Just why L.A. makes me sad every time I go

So take me back to Texas

You know it's where I belong

Take me back to Dallas

Well, I never should have left at all

And please grant me forgiveness so I can start to grow

Don't want L.A. to make me sad anymore

And she said I'm crazy for thinking what I thought

I ain't no saint, honey, I'm just playing the hand I got

And at least I could admit it without putting on a show

That's why L.A. gets me down every time I go

So take me back to Texas

You know it's where I belong

Take me back to Austin

Well, I never should have left at all

And please grant me forgiveness so I can start to grow

Don't want L.A. to make me sad anymore

And please grant me forgiveness so I can start to grow

Don't want L.A. to make me sad anymore

And please grant me forgiveness so, so I can start to grow

Don't want L.A. to make me sad anymore
