Why I Left L.A. Lyrics

It wasn't the traffic

Mudslides or earthquakes

The high price of gas

Or the friends that were fake

It was emerald green eyes

Full of Hollywood dreams

Moved west here from Texas

When fate set the scene

Lit the town like a sold out marquee

Swore we were the silver screen

Here to eternity

Best chemistry casting

Since that golden age

But our love was a comedy

Turns out the joke's on me

Hear the audience laughin'

When I roll back the tape

He got so good at actin', no doubt that he added

My heart to his resume

That's why I left L.A.

His humor and charm

Roped me in right away

Chasin' the stars

Never thought they would fade

Always had the right lines

Like he stole from a script

Misread all the signs

Shinin' on sunset strip

Swore we were the silver screen

Here to eternity

Best chemistry casting

Since that golden age

But our love was a comedy

Turns out the joke's on me

Hear the audience laughin'

When I roll back the tape

He got so good at actin', no doubt that he added

My heart to his resume

That's why I left L.A.

Oh, did he love me at all

Oh, 'til that curtain called

Swore we were the silver screen

Here to eternity

Best chemistry casting

Since that golden age

But our love was a comedy

Turns out the joke's on me

Hear the audience laughin'

When I roll back the tape

He got so good at actin', no doubt that he added

My heart to his resume

He got so good at actin', I finally had it

With being the part he played

That's why I left L.A.
