[Intro]
Hoo, lord!
[Verse 1]
I'm gonna ride a sabertooth horse
Through the Hollywood hills
The farther west – the farther out
Yeah, that's the way I feel
Well, I dig the dirt and I dig the dust
I barbecue my meals
Riding wild on a paisley dragon
Through the Hollywood hills, yeah
Huh, Hollywood hills
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna ride a sabertooth horse
Through the Hollywood hills
Just don't tell me anything
'Cause that's the way I feel
Well, I dig the dirt and I dig the dust
I barbecue my meals
Riding wild on a paisley dragon
Through the Hollywood hills, yeah
Huh, Hollywood hills
[Chorus]
Passion drippin' from the coyote's eyes
He can taste his blood
And blood never lies, pale face die
True men don't kill coyotes
True men don't kill coyotes
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna ride a sabertooth horse
Through the Hollywood hills
The farther west – the farther out
Yeah, that's the way I feel
Well, I dig the dirt and I dig the dust
I barbecue my meals
Riding wild on a paisley dragon
Through the Hollywood hills, yeah
Huh, Hollywood hills
[Chorus]
Passion drippin' from the coyote's eyes
He can taste his blood
And blood never lies, pale face die
True men don't kill coyotes
True men don't kill coyotes
[Verse 4]
I'm gonna ride a sabertooth horse
Through the Hollywood hills
Just don't tell me anything
'Cause that's the way I feel
Well, I dig the dirt
And I dig the dust
I barbecue my meals
Riding wild on a paisley dragon
Through the Hollywood hills, yeah
Huh, Hollywood hills
[Chorus]
Passion drippin' from the coyote's eyes
He can taste his blood
And blood never lies, pale face die
True men don't kill coyotes
True men don't
True men don't kill coyotes
True men don't
Aah!
True men don't kill coyotes
True men don't…
Hoo, lord!
[Verse 1]
I'm gonna ride a sabertooth horse
Through the Hollywood hills
The farther west – the farther out
Yeah, that's the way I feel
Well, I dig the dirt and I dig the dust
I barbecue my meals
Riding wild on a paisley dragon
Through the Hollywood hills, yeah
Huh, Hollywood hills
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna ride a sabertooth horse
Through the Hollywood hills

Through the Hollywood hills, yeah
Huh, Hollywood hills
[Chorus]
Passion drippin' from the coyote's eyes
He can taste his blood
