Lyrics
Hollywood M Massic-2007 umm ascap
Ever since the early days
They all told you you had what it takes
Some day you were gonna go
So far
With your smile and your southern charms
You held me tight in your arms
And whispered in my ear
You?d be back for me
So now you?re gone
And I am all alone
You?re gonna be the biggest thing
That they have ever known
It?s the land of broken dreams
That?s what I?m told
The streets are paved with gold
In Hollywood
Saw you on TV the other day
Didn?t have too much to say
But I can see you got lots of new friends
So when you?re getting what you need
Do you ever think of me
And what you left back here
Do you ever shed a tear
