jon english - hollywood 7 lyrics

Loading...

she came in one night from omaha, worn out
’cause she never could sleep on trains
she took the bus to hollywood
lookin’ for a room in the pourin’ rain
with her hair so blonde and her eyes so brown
she thought she’d take this town and turn it upside
down

well i was livin’ in a hotel just off sunset
she moved in across the hall
and she said she’d be a movie star
and waited every mornin’ for the ca-all
so i asked her in to share a drink
but she hardly had the ti-ime
a call might come tomorrow
she had to learn her li-ines

on hollywood seven
rooms to rent till your name goes up in lights
oh-oh hollywood seven
you can dream your dreams for seven bucks a night

well, the months went by without a job
the money that she saved was nearly spent
so she started bringin’ strangers home
tryin’ to find a way to pay the rent
well she’d sit down and drink my coffee
with nothin’ much to say-ay
just busy rehearsin’ in her mind
the scenes she’d never play-ay

on hollywood seven, rooms to rent
till your name goes up in lights
oh-oh, hollywood seven
you can dream your dreams for seven bucks a night

well i found her there one mornin’
when she didn’t come for coffee when i ca-alled
she’d gone and brought the wrong one home this time
there were crazy lipstick marks up on the wa-all
now she’s goin’ back to omaha but not the way she’d
pla-anned
there’ll be no crowd to cheer her on, no welcome home,
no ba-and

on hollywood seven, rooms to rent, till your name goes
up in lights
oh hollywood seven, you can dream your dreams for seven
bucks a night
on hollywood seven, dreams to rent, till your name goes
up in lights
oh-oh hollywood seven, you can pay your dues for seven
bucks a night
