Playing The Part

Jamey Johnson - Playing the Part
.
Taking a dip on the sunset strip in the mornin'
Ain't nothing like the smell of tofu and high dollar wine
They said maybe all of them cars locking down the I-5
Yeah I find it amazing these rats I've been chasing
Are helping me remember a time
.
When the only LA I knew was lower Alabama
Back when me and Hannah were wishing on a southern star
Now its so complicated, I really hate it,
Why'd I ever want to go so far
Taking depression pills in the Hollywood Hills
Acting like I'm playing the part

.
All this gripping and grinning,
losing and winning, and running
Promises break like an egg on the hot asphalt
What the hell was I thinking,
drinking like I'd never get caught
These high dollar women,
and the fame and the fortune,
Ain't worth the ticket I bought
.
When the only LA I knew was lower Alabama

Back when me and Hannah were wishing on a southern star
Now its so complicated, I really hate it,
Why'd I ever want to go so far
Taking depression pills in the Hollywood Hills
Acting like I'm playing the part
