lyrics

Enough of this place, but I'm still here
Nothing, nothing left for me, dear
Only the fear of never escaping
This Midwest Misery
The landscape is growing green
With envy of the places
I am going

And I'm going
Oh, I'm leaving
I'd trade cold weather for a cold demeanor
Who cares if I get a little meaner?
At least I'm living
Oh, I'm living
And oh, I'm leaving this Misery for a home
I can make it on my own

Enough of trying to have a career
The smoggy skyline draws me near
To the Hollywood glamour, her red evening dress
Something so mysterious
I'm in the scene, Fame wannabes next to me
I'm going

And I'm going
Oh, I'm leaving
I'd trade cold weather for a cold demeanor
Who cares if I get a little meaner?
At least I'm living
Oh, I'm living
And oh, I'm leaving this Misery for a home
I can make it on my own

Call me crazy, call me cruel
I already know I've been a fool
For standing still, for sitting here
Wasting away my youth all of these years
In the cold Misery, that's all I've known
But I guess it'll always be my home
But not where the heart is

My heart is with the CA sunshine
The LA limelight
The Hollywood heat in the summertime

And I'm going
Oh, I'm leaving
I'd trade cold weather for a cold demeanor
Who cares if I'm a little meaner?
At least I'm living
Oh, I'm living
And oh, I'm leaving this Misery was my Home
I can make it on my own

I can make it on my own
I can make it on my own
Oh, Hollywood,
Oh oh, in Hollywood
Oh oh, I can make it on my own
