Hollywood Seven (Live)-Jon English

She came in one night from Omaha worn out She never could sleep on trains Took the bus to Hollywood Looking for a room in the pouring rain With hair so blonde and eyes so brown She thought she'd take this town and turn it upside down And me I was living in a hotel just off Sunset She moved in across the hall And she said she'd be a movie star And waited every morning for a call So I asked her in just to have a little drink But she hardly had the time A call might come tomorrow she got to learn her lines On Hollywood Seven rooms to rent till your name goes up in lights Woh-oh Hollywood Seven dream your dream seven bucks a night And then the months went by without a job The money that she saved was nearly spent So she started bringing strangers home Just trying to find a way to pay the rent And she'd sit down and drink my coffee got nothing much to say Just busy rehearsing in her mind the scene she'd never play On Hollywood Seven rooms to rent till your name goes up in lights Woh-oh Hollywood Seven dream your dreams for seven bucks a night I found her there one morning She didn't come for coffee when I called She'd gone and brought the wrong one home this time There were crazy lipstick marks all over the wall Now she's going back to Omaha but not the way she'd planned There'll be no crowd to cheer her on no welcome home no band On Hollywood Seven rooms to rent till your name goes up in lights Hollywood Seven dream your dream for seven bucks a night She came in one night from Syracuse tired from sleeping on the plane Took a cab to Hollywood dreaming of the lights That would spell her name So I watched her take the lease on the empty room across the hall Waking up every morning waiting for that call On Hollywood Seven rooms to rent till your name goes up in lights Hollywood Seven dreaming your dream seven bucks a night On Hollywood Seven dreams to rent till your name goes up in lights Hollywood Seven pay your dues Seven bucks a night
