THE ONLY TIME IT RAINS IN HOLLYWOOD Lyrics – Red Leather
I saw a man without his shoes
On the corner drinkin’ booze
He was screamin’ life ain’t fair
And he said his name was Pete
Asked him why he’s on the street
He looked down with such despair
He Told me…
Back when I was 21
I had a wife, a job a son
I remember when life was so sweet
But then I started gamblin’
I lost my house, my wife, my kid
Ever since can’t get back on my feet
So learn from my mistakes
Before it’s too late
Hook
The only time it rains in Hollywood
Is when somebody cries
People come out here to chase their dreams
But dreams come here to die
Where the dreams come to die
Oooh oohhh woooo
Oooh oohhh
Where the dreams come to die
Verse 2
Walking Hollywood and Vine
Saw a woman with a sign
Asked me could I spare some change?
She had tombstones in her eyes
As I caught her by surprise
Asked her why the long face?
And she said…
Back when I was just 18
Had dreams of the silver screen
Left Detroit to be a movie star
And I had a taste of fame
That was until i met ***
Now I sleep on Sunset Blvd.
So learn from my mistakes
Before it’s too late
Hook 2
The only time it rains in Hollywood
Is when somebody cries
People come out here to chase their dreams
But dreams come here to die
The only time it rains in Hollywood
Is when somebody cries
People come out here to chase their dreams
But dreams come here to die
Where the dreams come to die
Oooh oohhh woooo
Oooh oohhh
Oooh oohhh woooo
Woooo
Verse 3
I heard a kid playing guitar
Singin’ out his broken heart
He wore a hat to hide his face
And lord knows that times are hard
I threw some money in his jar
Cuz I loved the way he played
And he said
I been singin’ 7 years
And every night I shed a tear
Cuz i don’t know if anybody cares
About the music that I write
Cuz it’s the story of my life
One day i will be a millionaire
