North Hollywood Dream

from GOODBYE EL DORADO by Russ Tolman

/

lyrics

You’re fresh off the bus here in North Hollywood
You walk down Magnolia to Lankershim
Things are a bit busier than they are back in Idaho
You wonder how much farther to the Econo Inn.

You’re finally in LA, let the dreaming begin
But right now, you’re hungry and tired
Ant there’s too much new to take in

Fast forward a few weeks, you’ve found yourself some roommates and a job
It’s a two bedroom in Valley Village and you’re working over at the mall

You’re finally in LA, let the dreaming begin
But right now there’s rent to make
And there’s too much new to take in

CH: Dream dream while you’re sleeping
Dream again when you wake
You’ll have plenty of time for dreaming
So dream for dreaming’s sake

Here comes your big break, they’ve finally called you back
Years of hoping and waiting, dead ends and sidetracks

You’re finally in LA, let the dreaming begin
But right now you’re not feeling well
And there’s too much new to take in

You’ve found yourself a partner, and now you’ve a couple kids
Buying’s better than renting, and now’s time to find new digs

You’re finally in LA, let the dreaming begin
But right now there’s mouths to feed
And there’s too much new to take in
