Oh to be in love in L. A.
Oh Lord I would give anything
To be in love in L. A.
In the city of angels I wished i stayed
All the movie stars walking down the BLVD.
With their collars up and their sunglasses on
Some of them are dirty Some of them are clean
But if you move to LA you gotta be downright mean
All of the forgotten side streets to the hills
Doesn't matter where you live we all want the same pills
Some of us make it, and others they quit
If you decide to give it a try you gotta put up with the same shit
Coffee and cigarettes make the days right as rain
But here the sun is king, and money is his queen
So put your hands together for you and me
Because we deserve to have everything
Still searching for a woman, Built like a Chevrolet
And more beautiful than the Rose Parade
To be in love in L.A. - Track Name: Try to Pour

The pages are filling up with words and diction I never use awful love songs I wrote for you.
Trying to get over this summer fever that crept up last November I just can’t lose. Try to pour more but you can’t ((You haven’t even touched your cup))
Lying flat on your back you look like an hourglass about to crack and I’ll be there to fill in the gap.
Call me love Call me god call me sin but you only ever call me him I just can’t win.
Try to pour more but you can’t ((You haven’t even taken a sip))
What do you got that makes you so special to be given all of this
What do you need to finally be pleased go back to sleep and wait in reverie
Try to pour more but you can’t - Track Name: Kiss Yourself (A Western)

Just like a sprout underneath concreate the truth will break you eventually
Everybody knows you stop being fun ever since you wooden whipped from a nun back when you went to Catholic school
You can't kiss yourself so you settled for me
You convinced yourself that love was for the weak
Your brother cant afford to stay out of jail and with your salary you can never make his bail
Everybody knows you stop being fun ever since you wooden whipped from a nun back when you went to Catholic school
You can't kiss yourself so you settled for me
You convinced yourself that love was for the weak
Your mother doesn't like your taste in men I don't blame her though
Because all fathers find faith find faith away from home
I've been pinching pennies for far too long just like the elderly do with children
For every inch of love in your heart there is a little hate hidden
You can't kiss yourself so you settled for me
You convinced yourself that love was for the weak - Track Name: America the Beautiful

I was born two weeks early my mama said I looked just like my daddy
I was gonna need a little extra help doctor said its up to god now
I raised to believe that men and women were created equally
but how could we still be fighting if we all wanted the same thing
America the beautiful shine down on me your love said your forgotten child.
America the beautiful show me the greater good and keep away all that is evil.
I was a young girl then but I knew right there he was trouble
only 16 and my parents knew I would never leave him
i kicked out in a week and had my first child only a year later
I knew deep down it would be okay because of the way he looks at me
America the beautiful shine down on me your love said your forgotten child.
America the beautiful show me the greater good and keep away all that is evil.
Now you have probably seen me before in front of your work or favorite department store
but I remember every face that passes by they never see the hurt in my eyes
I know I don't have alot but whatever I got is yours
because we are all in this together me and you are one
America the beautiful shine down on me your love said your forgotten child.
America the beautiful show me the greater good and keep away all that is evil.
Being a woman of my age you start wondering if you will ever find the one
I tried it all, online websites blind dates even bars and nightclubs
Every day I want to quit, stick to work and family and thats it
But once I wanna wake up before its all over in the arms of whom i love
America the beautiful shine down on me your love said your forgotten child.
America the beautiful show me the greater good and keep away all that is evil.
