[Verse]
N.C.
Got a friend in East LA
N.C.
She asks when I'm on my way
N.C.
Going wading water's warm
N.C.
But I've heard the sirens swarm
Am7 G D C
Ohhh ■ I've been tracing the same old lines ■
G Bb C
Ohhh Leave it all behind
[Chorus]
D
Run west sell your soul
C G
Over to the sunny side
D
Where the fire takes a toll
G
And still they call it paradise
D Am7 G D
When I'm really there I'll know
D
If I could call her my own
C G D
Ooo if it's LA then you can say I told you so
[Verse]

Year in Boston turns to two

Sick and safe in hometown blues

Steady sailing family car

It won't get me very far
