I wrote this song years ago when moving to LA was all the rage because of the promise of jobs, growth and a carefree lifestyle.

LA Bound
by Dale Aston

Three years of saving my money
hard work and not much pay
bought a plane ride to the big city
A new life's awaiting for me in L.A.

I'm on a fast jet to L.A.
I've been a long time on my way.

Big cars, women and money
Make a boy feel fancy free
"Long hairs" and beautiful people
don't have a dog-gone thing on me.

I'm on a fast jet to L.A.
I've been a long time on my way.

Lead

I left Atlanta this morning
sold the house with the pickup truck.
I'll call Jolee from Topeka
around five when she gets home from work.

I'm on a fast jet to L.A.
I've been a long time on my way.

My dues were paid when I left home
No one gonna tie me down
I'll find a brand new life there
Lord knows, that's why I'm L.A. bound.

On a fast jet to L.A.
I've been a long time on my way.

I'm on a fast jet to L.A.
I've been a long time on my way.
