Let Me Back In

Let it be printed, let it be known I'm leaving you, I'm going home And all you can do is just watch me go I've put you down, talked you up, defended your honor And then packed it in and picked it up And all you can do is watch me go From the Eastern seaboard, the landlocked Midwest The Keys, the Alps, the Black Hills and Budapest With my heart in a sling, tail between my legs a-swinging I'm sorry for leaving But when the palm trees bow their heads No matter how wrong I've been L.A., you always let me back in And you can bury me when my body breaks In the earth that created me, in the Golden State By my mama and her brother and their mama too 'Cause I had a dream I was carried on backs Of a thousand green birds And they carried me to a place without words And there was nothing, but there was everything And it sounded like this But when the palm trees bow their heads No matter how cruel I've been L.A., you always let me back in And when the palm trees bow their heads, No matter how cruel I've been, L.A., you always let me back in, in Oh back in, in Oh back in, in
