All I did was drink all day in that hell they call L.A A southern born man wants a gun in his hand When he sees how they run that place Never say I'm better than anyone Cause Lord knows that I'm not But that California summer wasn't that hot We went out there searchin' for something Instead we all got lost We were headin' out west and the plans were goin' south Never counted no cost By the time I hit Arizona I was on my way to see 65 days in L.A. is enough for me And I would drink 'till the sun came up And I was tryin' to find myself But it's hard to find yourself in a state like that I was born a runnin' man and anywhere I'm free But 65 days in L.A. is enough for me Been a few good folks out there any and everywhere We were runnin' down the same things, all about insane Thinkin' we'd find them out there Steppin' over bums on the sidewalk To get back to my front door And by the middle of August, couldn't take any more So I loaded up what little I had left And I bought two packs of smokes I was haulin' back to my girl, all back to my own I was born a runnin' man and anywhere I'm free But 65 days in L.A. is enough for me 65 days anywhere is too much for me Too much for me
