The fly by night carnival is closing down
Time to get off this merry go round
Kids and rubes have left the fairgrounds
The rock and roll gypsies are getting’ out of town
Northeastern Oklahoma is calling my name
Gettin’ off the grid and the old shell game
Gonna transcend like Henry David Thoreau
And listen to sweetheart of the rodeo
So long city of angels
Goodbye Sunset and Vine
I’m leaving for Oklahoma
Adios Hollywood sign
The Warners record deal fell apart in L.A
The technicolor life turned battleship grey
It was like I was Daniel in the lion’s den
Except no spirit appeared to save my skin
So I’m leaving here with the girl who shimmies
With her black eye liner and her handful of gimme
Taking a twin reverb with two blown speakers
Wearing my John Varvatos converse sneakers
So long city of angels
Goodbye Sunset and Vine
I’m leaving for Oklahoma
Adios Hollywood sign
Gram Parsons was right about the 31st floor
The earth is shaking and I can’t take it no more
So I’m heading due east hellbent for leather
Might even get the band back together
So long city of angels
Goodbye Sunset and Vine
I’m leaving for Oklahoma
Adios Hollywood sign
