It´s been a long time since I left town looking for a better place,
only to found out that life is hard where nobody knows you name.
I still remember the day I kissed you goodbye outside your school,
promising I´d be back someday to take you to Hollywood.
But life is hard and that I know,
I had to learn it the hard way, mylove.
Life is hard and that I know.
And all I want to do, is get back home.
I should have known right from the start, I couldn´t win, I had to lose.
The city lights that shined so bright left me blinded and confussed.
I am still here with my wounded pride walking by the side of the road,
hoping that no one has taken my place beside you while I was gone.
But life is hard and that I know,
I had to learn it the hard way, mylove.
Life is hard and that I know.
And all I want to do, is get back home.
