Long Way To Hollywood

Steve Young

Oh babe I hate to leave you down in this one horse town
Where the train runs through your early dreams just to leave that ol' wailing sound
Oh but I'm coming back I will return oh honey now wait for me
I'm bound to travel the USA cross the desert unto the sea
I've got another song about the south you know it's white and it's black
There ain't no banjo on my knee but I got songs on my back

Yeah it's a long long way to Hollywood a shot short change for fame
All them slickers are talkin' bout down home but I know that southern game

Oh when I told them I was leavin' you know my mama she cried
Ol' grandma she looked down that road Lord ol' granddaddy he died
Oh I love them all you know I love them all honey I hope that it ain’t so late
I hope I can help the ones that left here I hope that's in my fate

Yeah it's a long long way to Hollywood a shot short change for fame...

I've got another song for all them old people hoverin' down in the Georgia night
Lord I know their wings are heavy now and they're on the most lonesome flight
All them oh old depression people babe I know they took a heavy load
All the children my kinfolks and cousins still walkin' down Tobacco Road
Well they still talk about Hank Williams Lord they're clingin' onto his fame
I'm of the same race I'm from the same place got the same lonesome blood in my veins

Oh it's a long long way to Hollywood a shot short change for fame...
