Hollywood NightsBob Seger

Producer: Punch Andrews Bob Seger

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
She stood there bright as the sun on that California coast
He was a Midwestern boy on his own
She looked at him with those soft eyes, so innocent and blue
He knew right then he was too far from home
Oh, he was too far from home

[Verse 2]
She took his hand and she led him along that golden beach
They watched the waves tumble over the sand
They drove for miles and miles up those twisting, turning roads
Higher and higher and higher they climbed

[Chorus]
And those Hollywood nights
In those Hollywood hills
She was looking so right
In her diamonds and frills
Oh those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
She had all of her skills

[Bridge]

[Verse 3]
He'd headed west 'cause he felt that a change would do him good
See some old friends, good for the soul
She had been born with a face that would let her get her way
He saw that face and he lost all control
Yeah, he had lost all control

[Verse 4]
Night after night, day after day, it went on and on
Then came that morning he woke up alone
He spent all night staring down at the lights of LA
Wondering if he could ever go home

[Chorus]
And those Hollywood nights
In those Hollywood hills
It was looking so right
It was giving him chills
In those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
With a passion that kills
In those Hollywood nights
In those Hollywood hills
She was looking so right
In her diamonds and frills
Oh those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
She had all of her skills

[Outro]
Hollywood nights
Hollywood hills
Above all the lights
Hollywood nights
Hollywood nights
Hollywood hills
Above all the lights
Hollywood nights
Oh, Hollywood nights (Hollywood nights)
Hollywood hills (Hollywood hills)
Above all the lights (Above all the lights)
Hollywood nights
Hollywood nights
Hollywood hills
Above all the lights
