Lyrics
When you're walkin' in LA
Everybody knows that you're down
Nobody walks anywhere any other way
In this lonesome town
Nothing separating you in the street
But a dollar and the shoes on your feet
When you're walkin' in LA
When you're walkin' in LA
When you're walkin' in LA
When you're walkin' in LA
Ain't nobody knows your little lie
'Cause you're only as good in this city, they say
As the car you drive
Rollin' by all shiny and new
And there's nothing that a poor boy can do
When you're walkin' in LA
When you're walkin' in LA
When you're walkin' in LA
Eighteen-wheelers rollin' by up on the 405
But I ain't goin' anywhere
'Cause I ain't got a ride
When you're walkin' in LA
Everybody passes you by
Maybe glance up in the rear-view mirror and say
"Who's that poor guy?"
Then you're starin' at the taillights again
Of a Lexus or a Mercedes-Benz
When you're walkin' in LA
When you're walkin' in LA
When you're walkin' in LA
Ladies and gentlemen, Johnny Bush!
Weekend warriors cruisin' up and down the boulevard
Back to work on Monday morning
Think they've got it hard
When you're walkin' in LA
You might as well lay down and die
'Cause nothing's gonna be all right anyway
No matter how hard you try
A pedestrian in Beverly Hills
Ain't got any place to go but downhill
When you're walkin' in LA
When you're walkin' in LA
When you're walkin' in LA
When you're walkin' in LA
When you're walkin' in LA
When you're walkin' in LA
When you're walkin' in LA
