Oh the time it takes to leave LA
When the stubborn desert turns to clay
And the clay gets tired of bein mean
And gives way to everything green
On the freeway leaving LA on the freeway leaving LA
Oh the time it takes to change my mind
My heart can see but i am blind
I'm naive as a wounded child
And fear of cages keeps me wild
On the freeway leaving LA on the freeway leaving LA
I don't know why I don't know why
I don't know why try and try
High and dry just to keep us alive
Oh the time it takes to lose your life
Like becoming the wrong man's wife
And the landscape loses all its green
And you go from bein kind to mean
On the freeway leaving LA on the freeway leaving LA
I saw an angel on the side of the road
I saw an angel taking somebody home
And then they left through my car radio
Oh the time it takes to leave this world
When you see a wreck makes your tummy whirl
There's chances here to pierce the veil
But we stay alive let hope prevail
On the freeway leaving LA on the freeway leaving LA
Oh the time it takes to leave LA
Where the city lights won't let stars stay
Where ambition makes some of em mean
And accomplishment just turns to green
On the freeway leaving LA on the freeway leaving LA
I don't know why I don't know why
I don't know why try and try high and dry
Just to keep us alive
I don't know why I don't know why
I don't know why try and try high and dry
Just to keep us alive
On the freeway leaving LA
On the freeway leaving LA
On the freeway leaving LA
On the freeway
