Lyrics:

Hollywood Angel
J. Wilkinson & D. Barrozo

She was just 21 when she first pulled up in this city
Dust on her boots and stars shining bright in her eyes
She took the bus to the end of the line
Ended up under the Hollywood sign
Free from that town, free to live with no compromise

Daddy don’t you weep for your Hollywood angel
She’s not the first, and she’s not the last of her kind
She’s seen the dust and the rust of that glittering goldmine
But it still looks like heaven, out there on Sunset and Vine

Oh, times have changed since she first gave it all to this city
Now there’s a hitch in her voice, and a crack in her smile
The stages she played on, have all been torn down
You can’t recognize what they done to this town
She sings on the street, but the Angel can do it with style

Daddy don’t you weep for your Hollywood angel
She’s not the first, and she’s not the last of her kind
She’s seen the dust and the rust of that glittering goldmine
But it still looks like heaven, out there on Sunset and Vine

She would sing, that Hollywood Angel
She would give, her voice to the world

She’s still the girl, who ran straight to the ocean
Danced with the dolphins and drifted along with the tide
The old folks back home didn’t see her for years
Mama cried a five-gallon bucket of tears
She’s out with the freaks and the dreamers, and doin’ alright

Daddy don’t you weep for your Hollywood angel
She might not be a star, but that girl never wasted her time
Now she’s out on the run, a victim of low expectations
But it still looks like heaven, out there on Sunset and Vine
