HOLLYWOOD IN THE MORNING

V1
You didn't ask me for my advice,
But I'd be wrong not to tell you what I know.
For some it's too late to realize their dreams,
But for you, you've just turned 20 years old.
Why're you working from 9 to 5?
You should out there, reminding yourself you're alive.

Chorus
You'd better leave for Hollywood in the morning.
Don't look back cuz you'll be a long way from home.
You'd better leave for Hollywood in the morning,
If you want to get any closer to being a star.

V2
Bet you're thinking I've got it all backwards,
But it's you who has to face those great big highway signs.
I've heard "Someday, Someday" excuses from my own lips,
But "Someday" never comes unless say when "Someday" is.
Why're you satisfied with nickels and dimes?
You should be out there, learning how to shine.

Bridge
When you're out there waiting on tables and your big break,
And you get the cards that seem to say, "I told you so".
Open them quick and check them for money,
Then rip them up and throw them off the pier.

Coda
Cuz if you don't leave for Hollywood in the morning,
Then you'll never get any closer to being a star.
