NBC - Nothing to Show Lyrics

Remember when I went to Hollywood?
I was only looking for you
Your house was empty and your garden was dead
And your phone number had changed too

Your letters said that you were off to Portland
Because the music out here was dead
With an empty wallet and an emptier tank
I had to find a place to rest my head

So I called in an old friend and he gave me a room
I found a job in a local cafe
I promised myself I'd quit after a year
And get the f*ck right out of L.A.

I got nothing to show
I got nothing to show
For all the years I've been looking for you

A year had passed and I thought I was a stuck
I found a girl I swear was a 10
Until that night I called your name in bed
Then I never heard from her again

So I quit my job and got into my car
All my friends said I was wrong
But I didn't care I was heading up north
The drive was 15 hours long.

I got nothing to show
I got nothing to show
For all the years I've been looking for you

To the 405
I started calling? when I heard your name
It wasn't long until I was lost
Cause every city looks the same

I met someone who said you're in a band
The best in the state I'm sure
But by that time I was too late
You were on an east coast tour

I got nothing to show
I got nothing to show
For all the years I've been looking for you

Went back east and I drove up the coast
Ran out of cash when I hit New York
I needed a job to continue my search
I started work at a record store

Playing in a local club
I saved my money for about a month
And bought my ticket and a ticket, whuah whuah whuahoh!

I got nothing to show
I got nothing to show
For all the years I've been looking for you
