Drove to the City of Angels
Seeking fortune and fame
Took a room in a house
There you were
Gotta live your life forward
I heard a fella say
But you can only understand it
In reverse
Tried to write a love song
Just be yours and mine
No matter what I did
Couldn't make it rhyme
I was always in pursuit
You were always on the run
Looking for a better man
In the downtown bars
And I never got the truth
When I asked where you were coming from
Always a new one excuse
And another stranger's car
Tried to write a love song
Just be yours and mine
No matter what I did
Couldn't make it rhyme
Jealous doesn't sound like comfort
Angry don't sing like sweet
Tender doesn't rhyme
With how it always felt to me
Don't misunderstand me
It takes two to do a dance
You were pretty as the prairie
I was far away from home
And the City of Angels
Is full of loneliness
Felt like a dime a dozen kid
You were Marilyn Monroe
Got a message from an old friend
The three of us were close
Asking me to be in touch
I called him on the phone
I knew what he was gonna say
Somehow you had passed away
Forty years gone by
You were still alone
Tried to write a love song
Just be yours and mine
No matter what I did
Couldn't make it rhyme
