[00:23.73]Let it be printed, let it be known
[00:29.51]I'm leaving you, I'm going home
[00:36.01]And all you can do is just watch me go
[00:42.70]
[00:46.82]I've put you down, talked you up
[00:53.02]Defended your honor and then packed it in and picked it up
[00:59.82]When all you can do is just watch me go
[01:05.96]
[01:10.52]From the Eastern Seaboard, landlocked Midwest
[01:16.77]The Keys, the Alps, the Black Hills and Budapest
[01:22.82]With my heart in a sling, tail between my legs a'swinging
[01:27.57]I'm sorry for leaving
[01:32.27]
[01:34.26]But when the palm trees bow their heads
[01:41.62]No matter how wrong I've been
[01:47.56]L.A., you always let me back in
[01:54.90]
[01:57.71]And you can bury me when my body breaks
[02:04.71]In the earth that created me in the Golden State
[02:10.91]By my mama and her brother and their mama, too
[02:17.48]
[02:22.04]Because I had a dream I was carried on backs of a thousand green birds
[02:28.74]And they carried me to a place without words
[02:36.03]And there was nothing but there was everything
[02:42.47]
[02:45.35]And it sounded like this:
[02:47.53].
[02:48.60]
[03:11.24]But when the palm trees bow their heads
[03:19.12]No matter how cruel I've been
[03:25.62]L.A., you always let me back in
[03:33.49]
[03:36.68]And when the palm trees bow their heads
[03:44.24]No matter how cruel I've been
[03:50.36]L.A., you always let me back in, in
[04:01.49]Oh, back in, in
[04:07.68]Oh, back in, in
