She hangs around the boulevard
She's a local girl with local scars
She got home late, she got home late
She drank so hard the bottle ached
And she tried and she tried, and she tried and she tried
But nothing's clear in a bar full of flies
So she takes and she takes, she takes and she takes
She understands when she gives it away
Chorus
She says, man I gotta get out of this town
Man I gotta get out of this pain
Man I gotta get out of this town
Out of this town, and out of L.A.
Ts = G Bm Am C5
She's gotta gun, she's gotta a gun
She gotta gun she call the lucky one
She left a note up by the phone
Don't leave a message cause this ain't no home
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/beth_hart/la_song_crd_ver_2.html ]
And she cried and she cried, and she cried and she cried
She cried so long her tears ran dry
And she laughed and she laughed, she laughed and she laughed
Cause she knew she was never comin' back
Chorus
She said, man I'm gonna get out of this town
Man I'm gonna get out of this pain
Man I'm gonna get out of this town
Out of this town, and out of L.A.

It's all she loves, it's all she hates
It's all too much for her to take
She can't be sure just where it ends
Or where the good life begins
So she took a train, she took a train
To a little old town without a name
She met a man, he took her in
But fed her all the same bullshit, again
Cause he lied and he lied, and he lied and he lied
He lied like a salesman selling flies
So she screamed and she screamed, and she screamed and she screamed
It's a different place, but the same old thing
It's all I love, it's all I hate
It's all too much for me to take
I can't be sure where it begins
Or if the good life lies within
So she said, man I gotta get out of this town
Now I gotta get back on that train
Man I gotta get out of this town
I'm out of my pain, so I'm goin' back to L.A.
Back to L.A, back to L.A.
I'm goin' back to L.A.
I'm goin' back to L.A.... End on G
