"L.A. Woman" lyrics

"L.A. Woman"

Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
Took a look around, see which way the wind blow
Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows
Are you a lucky little lady in the city of light?

Or just another lost angel?
City of night, city of night
City of night, city of night
Woo! Come on!

L.A. woman, L.A. woman
L.A. woman, Sunday afternoon
L.A. woman, Sunday afternoon
L.A. woman, Sunday afternoon

Drive through your suburbs
Into your blues, into your blues, yeah
Into your blue blue blues
Into your blues, ohh yeah

I see your hair is burning
Hills are filled with fire
If they say I never loved you
You know they are a liar
Driving down your freeways
Midnight alleys roam
Cops in cars, the topless bars

Never saw a woman so alone
So alone, so alone, so alone
Motel money murder madness
Let's change the mood from glad to sadness

Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'
Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'
Got to keep on risin'
Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'
Mojo Risin'
Gotta Mojo Risin'
Mr. Mojo Risin', gotta keep on risin'
Risin', ridin'
Gone ridin', ridin'
Come on ridin', ridin'
I gotta ridin', ridin'
Well, ridin', ridin'
I gotta woo! Hey, yeah
Whoa, yeah

Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
Took a look around, see which way the wind blow
Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows
Are you a lucky little lady in the city of lights?

Or just another lost angel?
City of night, city of night
City of night, city of night
Woah! c'mon

L.A. woman, L.A. woman
L.A. woman, you're my woman
Little L.A. woman, little L.A. woman
L.A., L.A., woman, woman
L.A. woman, come on

The song is the title track on the album. The album is the last with Jim Morrison, who died three months after its release.
Jim Morrison recorded his vocal part for this song in the bathroom of the studio to achieve the natural reverberation.
The words "Mr Mojo Risin'" in the lyrics are an anagram of "Jim Morrison".
The expression "City of Night" was borrowed from John Rechy's book of the same name issued in 1963.
Keyboardist Ray Manzarek explained this song's meaning to Uncut magazine in September 2011, "A song about driving madly down the LA freeway... You're a beatnik on the road, like Kerouac and Neal Cassady, barreling down the freeway as fast as you can go."
The music video for this song was directed by Ray Manzarek and produced by Rick Schmidlin in 1985, 14 years after Jim Morrison's death.
A sheet of paper with this song's lyrics written by Jim Morrison was sold at an auction in UK for £13'000 on the 4th of August 2009.
