Steve Miller Band - The Hollywood Dream lyrics
[Steve Miller Band - The Hollywood Dream lyrics]
Baby got into her car
Drove all the way to New York City um Hummmm
She played her guitar there
They made her a star in New York City
Um Hummmm
She went to Paris, France
That's where she got the chance
To be a movie star
I got a post card from Rome
Then she was headin' home to America
A superstar she'd come so far
Dit dit die o dit dit die o
Dit dit die o dit dit die o
Well, it wasn't very long
Till she was back out on that old freeway
Um Hummmm
She drove across the mountains
The prairies, the deserts of the USA
Um Hummmm
Hollywood gave her a call
She went and lived it all
On the silver screen
Sometimes she laughed and she cried
She kept it all inside for the magazines
The silver screen the Hollywood dream
Dit dit die o dit dit die o
Dit dit die o dit dit die o
She lives in an ivory tower
A tower built by fame um Hummmm
She's got the wealth and power
But she hasn't got a man um Hummmm
No matter how hard she tried
She was so empty inside so lonely
She hung her head and she cried
Was it the love she denied never satisfied
Deep inside she said goodbye
She paid the price for her fame
Everyone knows her name america
A superstar she'd come so far
Dit dit die o dit dit die o
Dit dit die o dit dit die o
Dit dit die o
Drove all the way to New York City um Hummmm
She played her guitar there
They made her a star in New York City
Um Hummmm
She went to Paris, France
That's where she got the chance
To be a movie star
I got a post card from Rome
Then she was headin' home to America
A superstar she'd come so far
Dit dit die o dit dit die o
Dit dit die o dit dit die o
Well, it wasn't very long
Till she was back out on that old freeway
Um Hummmm
She drove across the mountains
The prairies, the deserts of the USA
Um Hummmm
Hollywood gave her a call
She went and lived it all
On the silver screen
Sometimes she laughed and she cried
She kept it all inside for the magazines
The silver screen the Hollywood dream
Dit dit die o dit dit die o
Dit dit die o dit dit die o
She lives in an ivory tower
A tower built by fame um Hummmm
She's got the wealth and power
But she hasn't got a man um Hummmm
No matter how hard she tried
She was so empty inside so lonely
She hung her head and she cried
Was it the love she denied never satisfied
Deep inside she said goodbye
She paid the price for her fame
Everyone knows her name america
A superstar she'd come so far
Dit dit die o dit dit die o
Dit dit die o dit dit die o
Dit dit die o
