Story Behind The Song

I used to tour coast to coast, not only with my own band but with bands I managed and helped grow into having their own name throughout the Midwest. For personal reasons I opted to return home for a number of years before venturing out into the life of the road again. L.A. was home for a while to me... and for like so many others, she was only a temporary home.

Song Description

This song talks about how so many people find LA - whether it's to pursue a dream of acting, singing, modeling... or just a life long dream vacation... L.A. has seen her share of people come and leave and she never misses anyone. There will always be anot

Lyrics

I took a walk along the Boardwalk
Her last expression calls to me
I left her longing for attention
But something tells me she won't find
It hard to fill the void

And I know
It's out of the ordinary
When I sleep she calls to me
When I sleep she calls to me
When I sleep she calls to me
L.A.

Like some of the girls I met her briefly
While I was passing by
Got caught on her curves and sun soaked shores
Her eyes that shone bright into the evening
And something tells me I won't mind
The way that she smiles at everyone

And I know
It's out of the ordinary
When I sleep she calls to me
When I sleep she calls to me
When I sleep she calls to me
L.A.
L.A.

And though the memories all turn gray
I pine for her
I need her near
And like some plastic souvenir
I'm cast away
Left longing for L.A.

I took a walk along the Boardwalk
Her last expression calls to me
