THE ONLY TIME IT RAINS IN HOLLYWOOD Lyrics by Red Leather

RENO

2022

[Verse 1]
I saw a man without his shoes
On the corner drinking 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 twenty-one
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"
[Pre-Chorus]
"So learn from my mistakes before it's too late"
[Chorus]
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
(Woo, woo, woo)
(Woo, woo)
Where the dreams come to die
[Verse 2]
Walkin' 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 eighteen
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 cocaine
Now I sleep on Sunset Boulevard"
[Pre-Chorus]
"So learn from my mistakes before it's too late"
[Chorus]
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
(Woo, woo, woo)
(Woo, woo)
(Woo, woo, woo)
(Woo)
[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
'Cause I loved the way he played
And he said, "I been singin' seven years
And every night I shed a tear
'Cause I don't know if anybody cares
About the music that I write
'Cause it's the story of my life
One day I will be a millionaire"
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
(Woo, woo, woo)
(Woo, woo)
(Woo, woo, woo)
(Woo)
(Woo, woo, woo)
(Woo, woo)
(Woo, woo, woo)
(Woo)
Woo, woo, woo
Woo, woo
Woo, woo, woo
Woo
