So I come to play the love in New York Where it was covered in snow, what a time to show Still said it was new to me And it was good to be there It was like a fantasy Though I was in it going to California The music business is in L.A. And the money is there, they say So I packed my bags again And we came into L.A. To see the warmer day than we had seen in New York Like I'd come to stay I met a friend of mine who took me on home And I heard her say, she said Honey, no, don't leave L.A. you're just a lonely driver Driving til the other end This lonely race that you're in She said now, honey, no no no don't leave L.A. You're just a lonely rider looking for something to ride Honey, don't leave L.A. After hitching a ride into Hollywood Just to see the famous scene I understood Spent the nights with the girl that I knew I knew that I was getting to know
With all the things we knew So I got into her and she got into me Ooh we was living out of money, you know I got a feeling that came right through to me When that woman took me by the hand And she said Honey, don't leave L.A. you're just a lonely driver Driving til the other end This lonely race that you're in She said now, honey, no no no don't leave L.A. You're just a lonely rider looking for something to ride Honey, don't leave L.A. And she said Honey, no, don't leave L.A. you're just a lonely driver Driving til the other end This lonely race that you're in She said now, honey, no no no don't leave L.A. You're just a lonely rider looking for something to ride And I heard hear say Honey, don't you leave L.A. You're just a lonely rider looking for something to ride Honey, don't leave L.A. Honey, don't you ever leave L.A.
