Ode to the Locals

by Nitwit

/

about

This is a song about growing up in LA.

lyrics

Baptized in the LA river
Born on Sunset Blvd
This town's only getting bigger
But it's bound to break your heart
I tried my best to leave here
But never got too far
Baptized in the LA river
Born on Sunset Blvd

I still remember all good people
Can still tell you their names
There's still a garden for Molly Pettit
She died in the 2nd grade

Baptized in the LA river
Born on Sunset Blvd
This town's only getting bigger
But it's bound to break your heart

We used to jump on the Surfliner
Straight to Solana Beach
But now that my folks are old-timers
I know I can never leave
