Stands up, hands up, he says, "I think I'm leaving
Country life is only cows and rocks and trees and
Girlfriend ain't never been enough for him
And he ain't got no tears in his eyes"
And as a little boy, he loved the movies
Especially the stories come from rags to riches
Packing up his family has the deepest blues
But he ain't got no tears in his eyes
That's why he left for the west coast city
Where the lights shine bright and the girls are so pretty
In the back of our minds, we all want that more
And we're driving our Ferraris like we're carnivores
Leaves are never falling out in East L.A
He starts to miss the seasons and his mother's face
But a dream just ain't a dream until you run the race
And he ain't got a doubt in his mind
That's why he left for the west coast city
Where the lights shine bright and the girls are so pretty
In the back of our minds, we all want that more
And we're driving our Ferraris like we're carnivores
Is this exactly what you wanted?
How would you know it if you had it?
Just another sucker at the racetrack
Losing sight of everything that matters
I beg you to please define it
Don't lose your mind
How will you know if enough is enough if
You never say where the finish line is?
I beg you to please define it
Don't lose your mind
How will you know if enough is enough if
You never say where the finish line is?
Stands up, hands up, he says, "I think I'm leaving
Country life has never really been for me and
Girlfriend moved on" and now he starts to
Feel the tears are welling up in his eyes
That's why he left for the west coast city
Where the lights shine bright and the girls are so pretty
In the back of our minds, we all want that more
And we're driving our Ferraris like we're carnivores
Is this exactly what you wanted?
How would you know it if you had it?
Just another sucker at the racetrack
Losing sight of everything that matters
