Song lyrics

[Verse 1:]
I was looking for a change of scene,
You were looking at a magazine,
It was red carpets and limousines,
And the grass seemed so much greener.
All we wanted was to get there fast
So, we packed up everything we had,
Running on hope and a tank of gas
Like dreams ain't just for dreamers.
We couldn't wait to leave that life behind
Trying to find salvation in that city limit sign.

[Chorus:]
And one of those LA nights
When the stars come out,
Oh, the stars come out and shine
And they burn so bright,
They drown the downtown lights,
When the stars come out,
Oh, when the stars come out!

[Verse 2:]
Everybody's somebody, someday,
Everybody's got a part to play,
Everybody's trying to find a way
To say what needs saying.
Everybody's got a friend of a friend,
Somebody that can get you in
Begging angels for a sin,
In a game that we're all playing
You and I, we're gamblers holding cards that we can't see,
And I'm betting on you, you're betting on me.

[Chorus:]
And one of those LA nights
When the stars come out,
Oh, the stars come out and shine
And they burn so bright,
They drown the downtown lights,
When the stars come out,
Oh, when the stars come out!

[Bridge:]
Down on the freeway, the sun is out of sight,
And I got a feeling tonight might be the night,
Yeah, tonight might be the night.

[Chorus:]
And one of those LA nights
When the stars come out,
Oh, the stars come out and shine
And they burn so bright,
They drown the downtown lights,
When the stars come out,
Oh, when the stars come out!
