This old road I'm walkin' on it runs two ways But the way I'm runnin' now takes me away From the town she loved no one I've learned to hate It's just a nightmare somebody called LA From a Georgia farm we came to this town a year ago And I never did much when late at night she'd wanna go Out on the town where the music was was loud and the crowd were gay Out in that nightmare somebody called LA Those LA lights shine bright at night as fas as the eyes can see And I guess she thought those LA lights needed her more than me But now that she's gone I can't bring myself to stay Here in this nightmare somebody called LA Here in this nightmare somebody called LA
