[ Featuring Dave Turnbull ]
Holly was in every note, of every song I ever wrote
And man she loved to hear me play
Holly was a beauty queen, bound for the silver screen
And Tennessee just ain't L.A.
We both had dreams clear across the map
Both knew the other wasn't coming back
And now she's waiting tables taking casting calls
And I'm waiting on a label, to believe in my songs
Oooo ooo but the lines I write have an empty kinda feeling
Oooo ooo and I'm up all night California dreamin'
It's got nothing to do with L.A.
But I gotta get there yesterday
Cause if anyone could make it all good
Holly would
Last night we were on the phone, played her one I was working on
She told me "boy you're gonna be a star"
I ain't sure that I'm convinced, cause I ain't been the same ever since
We let these dreams keep us apart
Oooo ooo now the lines I write have an empty kinda feeling
Oooo ooo and I'm up all night California dreamin'
It's got nothing to do with L.A.
But I gotta get there yesterday
Cause if anyone could make it all good
Holly would
Yeah Holly would, tell me to stay even if it ain't what she wanted
So there's a redeye flight tonight and I'll be on it
Oooo ooo cause I love that girl it just took some time to see it
Oooo ooo I'm gonna hold her tight and this time I ain't leaving
It's got nothing to do with L.A.
But I gotta get there yesterday
Cause if anyone could make it all good
Holly would
Yeah if anyone could make it all good...Holly would
