Hellbent For Leather (feat. Steve Earle)

The fly-by-night carnival is closin' down It's time to get off this merry-go-round The kids and rubes have left the fairgrounds The rock and roll gypsies gettin' out of town Northeastern Oklahoma is callin' my name Gettin' off the grid and the old shell game Gonna transcend like Henry David Thoreau Listen to the "Sweetheart Of The Rodeo" So long, City of Angels Goodbye Sunset and Vine I'm leavin' for Oklahoma Adios, Hollywood sign The Warner's record deal fell apart in LA The Technicolor life turned battleship grey It's like I's Daniel in the lion's den Except no spirit appeared to save my skin So I'm leavin' here with a girl who shimmies With her black eyeliner and her handful of gimme Take a twin reverb with two blown speakers Wear my John Varvatos Converse sneakers So long, City of Angels Goodbye Sunset and Vine I'm leavin' for Oklahoma Adios, Hollywood sign (two, three, four) Gram Parsons was right about the 31st floor The Earth is shakin', can't take it no more So I'm headed due East, hellbent for letter Might even get the band back together So long, City of Angels Goodbye Sunset and Vine I'm leavin' for Oklahoma Adios, Hollywood sign So long, City of Angels Goodbye Sunset and Vine I'm leavin' for Oklahoma Adios, Hollywood sign
