Lyrics
Hillbilly Hollywood by M. LeGrand c. 2003
Hillbilly Hollywood I never understood
a thing about this world
Hillbilly Hollywood I guess I never should
have left my home or my girl
Sometimes it?s cold in guitar town
Sunday morning coming down
Hillbilly Hollywood maybe I misunderstood
those folks who said I?d go far
Hillbilly Hollywood maybe I just ain?t no good
except at home in some smokey bar
Waking the floor after midnight
hearing myself sing Hello Walls
Instrum.
Hillbilly Hollywood it?s a pretty tough neighborhood
the doors are locked and the banks are closed
Hillbilly Hollywood, however I thought I could
break in this town and get the gold
Broken hearts and broken strings
old pawn shops sell wedding rings
