Joshua West - Hello L.A.

He grew up in a small town in Caroline
His family never had much to spare
A two-room shack out by the county line
He couldn’t wait to leave there
He packed his bags and he gassed his car
Sold his things to the local pawn
He only held onto his clothes and his guitar
And he hit the road at the break of dawn
Goodbye Caroline
I don’t miss what I left behind
Hello LA
I’m looking for a good time
He drove until his eyes couldn’t see the lines
Slept in his car behind a truck stop
Told himself he'd make it, a thousand times
He’d keep on going ’til he reached the top
He drove down Sunset and the streets of lust
Saw the signs that times were hard
And the lights they sparkled like diamond dust
Driving down the boulevard
Hello LA
What you got in store for me
Hello LA
Welcome to the dream factory
As he left all that he knew
In his rearview
All he had loved before
The lights came into view
It was all so new
It was an open door
To the stars
He fell in with a band who had some songs
But they never saw the charts
They were all feeling right, but they were wrong
They weren’t stars but they played the part
But still he chased the dream, as it flew
It hung just outside of reach
When you play the game, it plays you too
There are some lessons you cannot teach
Hello LA
What you got in store for me
Hello LA
Welcome to the machinery

Streets are flooding down on Saint Nick avenue
Can't even see the buildings through the haze
Cabs are hard to come by, words that don’t ring true
Searching for a winning card to play
NY sheds a tear, try to dry her eye
Let go of your fears, hold on to the night
NY asks the question are we gonna be alright?
NY sheds a tear, tonight
Look for better angels, falling from the sky
Lost in ashes burning down to dust
Spirit taking over on the upper upper west
Victory is something that we must
NY sheds a tear, try to dry her eye
Let go of your fears, hold on to the night
NY asks the question are we gonna be alright?
NY sheds a tear, tonight

I recall long ago in Cullowhee I found myself
And I lost a few things along the way
The years went by so quickly
And soon it was time to go
One day I’ll come back home
Cullowhee I’m coming home
I found a little life in Cullowhee
I recall long ago in Cullowhee I was young
And foolish in the best years of my life
I fell in love then fell out again and ran off with some friends
I made my own way for myself all about myself
Cullowhee I’m coming home
I found a little life in Cullowhee

v1:
Nothing to lose, nothing to gain
Round & round, until only the joy remains
All hope is lost, all hope is found
We only know it's good to be standing on solid ground
pre:
We sit and wait for your return
v2:
Before we spoke, before we lied
The fire was burning so deep inside
Whatever comes, whatever goes
Whatever happened to the man that everybody knows
pre:
We sit and wait for your return
ch:
In Waco, TX 1948
Nothing ever happens in this God-forsaken place
Until they turned out the lights and opened up the gates
In Waco, TX 1948
v3:
Until the last dog has his day
Until the last priest & poet run out of things to say
We'll count our cards, we'll count our luck
We'll count out time until we realize how low that we've sunk
pre:
We sit and wait for your return
ch:
In Waco, TX 1948
Nothing ever happens in this God-forsaken place
Until they turned out all the lights and opened the gates
In Waco, TX 1948
Until they turned out all the lights and opened the gates
In Waco, TX 1948

what makes you feel better?
footprints by the door
I tried to read your letter
you were searching for a score
With every pulse you’re feeling
Don’t you hear the chords?
Connections to the airwaves
soldered on your circuit board
and if you feel unready
you’re past the point of losing
better stand up steady
you’ve gotta call the tune
cause if it all feels heady
well, you don’t know what’s coming
it all goes south
when you get back from Crystal City
Goddamn your addiction
fuck your money pose
First step, did you think about
Your highs and all our lows?
what makes you feel better?

Black clouds under his fingernails
whiskey sweat on his brow
Someone's buried in the woods tonight
Outside of Yellow Springs
Etched his name on an old oak tree
with his grandfather's blade
where ropes would swing 'till the late 19s
Outside of Yellow Springs
Badges and guns tried to take the hills
for a man with deep pockets
shadows consume, imminent doom
Outside of Yellow Springs
