     L.A. is a great big freeway,

In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star,
 Dm7             G
Weeks turn into years, how quick they pass,
G                G                G
    And all the stars that never were...
                 G

You can really breathe in San Jose, they've got a lot of space,

     Fame and fortune is a magnet,
