Walkin' In La Lyrics

Steve Earle

When you're walkin' in LA
Everybody knows that you're down
Nobody walks anywhere any other way
In this lonesome town

Nothing separating you in the street
But a dollar and the shoes on your feet

When you're walkin' in LA
When you're walkin' in LA
When you're walkin' in LA

When you're walkin' in LA
Ain't nobody knows you're alive
'Cause you're only as good in this city, they say
As the car you drive

Rolling by all shiny and new
And there's nothing that a poor boy can do

When you're walkin' in LA
When you're walkin' in LA
When you're walkin' in LA

Eighteen wheelers rolling by
Up on the 405
Well I ain't going anywhere
'Cause I ain't got a ride

When you're walkin' in LA
Everybody passes you by
Maybe glance up in the rearview mirror and say
Who's that poor guy?

Then you're staring at the taillights again
Of a Lexus or a Mercedes Benz

When you're walkin' in LA
When you're walkin' in LA
When you're walkin' in LA

Ladies and Gentlemen, Johnny Bush

Weekend warriors cruising up and down the boulevard
Back to work on Monday morning, think they've got it hard

When you're walkin' in LA
You might as well lay down and die
'Cause nothing's gonna be alright anyway
No matter how hard you try

A pedestrian in Beverly Hills
Ain't got any place to go but downhill

When you're walkin' in LA
When you're walkin' in LA
When you're walkin' in LA

When you're walkin' in LA
When you're walkin' in LA
When you're walkin' in LA

When you're walkin' in LA
