The Hollywood Dream

Steve Miller Band

Baby got into her car 
Drove all the way to New York City 
Um Hummmm 

She played her guitar there 
They made her a star in New York City 
Um Hummmm 

She went to Paris, France 
That's where she got the chance 
To be a movie star 

I got a post card from Rome 
Then she was headin' home 
To America 
A superstar 
She'd come so far 

Dit dit die o 
Dit dit die o 
Dit dit die o 
Dit dit die o 

Well, it wasn't very long 
Till she was back out on 
That old freeway 
Um Hummmm 

She drove across the mountains 
The prairies, the deserts 
Of the U.S.A. 
Um Hummmm 

Hollywood gave her a call 
She went and lived it all 
On the silver screen 

Sometimes she laughed and she cried 
She kept it all inside 
For the magazines 
The silver screen 
The Hollywood dream 

Dit dit die o 
Dit dit die o 
Dit dit die o 
Dit dit die o 

She lives in an ivory tower 
A tower built by fame 
Um Hummmm 

She's got the wealth and power 
But she hasn't got a man 
Um Hummmm 

No matter how hard she tried 
She was so empty inside 
So lonely 

She hung her head and she cried 
Was it the love she denied 
Never satisfied 
Deep inside 
She said goodbye 

She paid the price for her fame 
Everyone knows her name 
America 
A superstar 
She'd come so far 

Dit dit die o 
Dit dit die o 
Dit dit die o 
Dit dit die o 
Dit dit die o 
Dit dit die o
