Verse 1
Guess that home wasn’t good enough
Home didn’t do enough
It let you down
And you were too big fish for this small town
So you swam out and headed out West
What was that all about?
Found out even at your best
You can’t entertain and still be a part of the crowd
And you got sick of waitin’ on
What you thought would never come
Just bein’ here reminds you of when life looked like love and love looked like us
Chorus
Welcome home, girl
How was Hollywood?
Did your lights shine as bright as you thought they would?
And if you wanna come back down here, you’re always welcome around here
And you aint gotta act, girl
This aint Hollywood
Verse 2
As soon as you packed your bags
I swear I just imagined you wrote your name in lights
I never wanted to hold you back, so I told you I was alright
But I wanted to burn every magazine and critic that put you down
I never understood why you get high enough
And they carve your star in the ground
And I don’t blame you for wantin’ to go
And how you never stayed in touch
I’m just glad you’re right back home
Where life looks like love and love looks like us – Yeah
Chorus
Bridge
And I’m here
Just let me know
Tell Hollywood you’re letting go
The best picture you was ever in
That’s you starrin’ you
Now you’re home; you can be you again
