"Good-bye L.A." lyrics

Left Los Angeles this mornin'
The lovely city by the sea
It came on without a warnin'
It had become too much for me

I could not be a city slicker
Don't believe that I would last
So big engine keep on turnin'
Goodbye L.A.'s it's been a gas

I heard Mr. Jennings sing about travelin'
Said he was a ramblin' man
Made me lonesome for the highway
To see some country once again

It's not that I don't like your company
Nor the good times that we spent
It's just that I feel out of place here
Out of my environment

It started lookin' like a downer
Made me feel like getting high
And the stallion was raring
And pawing to the sky

There were seven horses tethered
Out beside the cabin door
My companion said I'm sorry
I don't believe we've met before
