This old road I'm walkin' on it runs two ways
But the way I'm runnin' now takes me away
From the town she loved no one I've learned to hate
It's just a nightmare somebody called LA

From a Georgia farm we came to this town a year ago
And I never did much when late at night she'd wanna go
Out on the town where the music was was loud and the crowd were gay
Out in that nightmare somebody called LA

Those LA lights shine bright at night as fas as the eyes can see
And I guess she thought those LA lights needed her more than me
But now that she's gone I can't bring myself to stay
Here in this nightmare somebody called LA
Here in this nightmare somebody called LA
