She hangs around the boulevard 
She's a local girl with local scars 
She 
got home late, she got home late 
She drank so hard the bottle ached 
And 
she tried, and she tried, and she tried, and she tried
But nothin's clear in 
a bar full a flies 
So she takes, so she takes, she takes, so she 
takes
She understands when she gives it away 
She says 

* Man I 
gotta get outta this town 
Man I gotta get outta this pain 
Man I gotta 
get outta this town 
Outta this town and out of L.A. 

She's so 
ashamed, she's so ashamed
She know heaven don't want her in this way
She 
left a note right by the phone 
Don't leave a message 'cause this ain't no 
home 
And she cried, and she cried, and she cried, and she cried 
She 
cried so long her tears ran dry 
Then she laughed, then she laughed, she 
laughed, then she laughed
'Cause she knew she was never comin' back 
She 
said 

[Repeat *]

It's all she loves It's all she hates It's all 
too much for her to take 
She can't be sure just where it ends or where the 
good life begins 
So she took a train, she took a train
To a little old 
town without a name 
She met a man he took her in 
But fed her all the 
same bullshit again 
'Cause he lied, then he lied, then he lied, then he 
lied
he lied like a salesman sellin' flies 
So she screamed, then she 
screamed, then she screamed, then she screamed
it's a different place but the 
same old thang 
It's all I love It's all I hate It's all too much for me to 
take 
I can't be sure where it begins or if the good life lies within 
So 
she said 

Man I gotta get out of this town 
Now I gotta get back on 
that train 
Man I gotta get out of this town 
I'm outta my pain 
So I'm 
goin' back to L.A. 
Back to L.A. 
Back to L.A. Hey...
I'm goin' back to 
L.A. Hey...
I'm goin' back to L.A.
