Testo Down in Hollywood - 2008 Remaster - Ry Cooder

Testo della canzone Down in Hollywood - 2008 Remaster (Ry Cooder), tratta dall'album The Ry Cooder Anthology: The UFO Has Landed

Well did you hear the good news
There's gonna be some bad blues
Somebody said they'd play all night long
So go and fill your brown bag
And put on all your clean rags
Let's go downtown and see what's going on
You take me down to Vine Street
Stop when you hear the backbeat
And I'll sneak past the bouncer at the door
Now I know that he ain't looking
Not when the band is cooking
'Cause he's watching the ladies dancing on the floor
We're going down in Hollywood
You better hope that you don't run out of gas
Down in Hollywood
They'll drag you right out of your car and kick your ass
In Hollywood
They're standing on the corner just waiting for a sucker like you
Down in Hollywood
Now if you want to stay healthy just keep 'em moving right on through
Be careful
Don't look back
Keep moving, keep moving
Well the scotch has started flowing
And some girl she is showing
Everything she's got
Folks it's a sight
Some men would give a week's pay
If she would just dance down their way
And say "Baby I'm gonna take you home with me tonight"
Now outside the streets are shaking
And I hear windows breaking
Some poor fool's gonna land in jail tonight
And all the hookers are trying to pull your coat
And the pimps reach out to cut your throat
Ain't no way out of here without a fight
What's that folks say?
Down in Hollywood
You better hope that you don't run out of gas
Down in Hollywood
They'll drag you right out of your car and kick your ass
In Hollywood
They're standing on the corner just waiting for a sucker like you
Down in Hollywood
And if you want to stay healthy just keep 'em moving right on through
Hi
You know you're gonna get arrested the
Way those pants fit around your thighs
Oh come back honey don't leave now
Hey bud
Come here let me talk to you for a second
Give me that
Cops coming
Okay come on
Can't sleep here
Oh Jesus this guy's a mess
Well he's just drunk
Mama will pick him up in the car and take him down
Well his mama told him not to go
Little sister told him too
But the poor boy just didn't listen
Like he should
Man it's too bad
He hitchhiked all the way from Burbank
Now he's gonna end up in the drunk tank
Some old man says
Yeah well that's just the way it goes down in Hollywood
Down in Hollywood
Hope that you don't run out of gas
Down in Hollywood
They'll drag you out your car and literally kick your ass
In Hollywood
They're standing on the corner just waiting for a sucker like you
Down in Hollywood
But if you want to stay healthy just keep 'em moving right on through
For sure
Man I'm telling you
Boy they'll do anything that old lowdown Hollywood
Be in a world of trouble now
Lord have mercy
Can I get a witness?
Please
Come man, let's go
