A quiet song with real waves and seagulls. I enjoyed playing the classical guitars for the beautiful tone and because the nylon strings are easier on my fingers.

I used to live in LA and I told my friends I'd come back someday. Contains a slight reference to Florida. Some people like to have a little of that in their music, too.

I’m going back, back to LA
I’m going back to a better way to be
I’ll be free.
Had a wife in Jacksonville
That became just a contest of wills and you know
That don’t go.

City of Angels that’s where God put Hollywood
City of Angels, California
And it was good.

I got my music some tunes and some rhymes
All I need is the right place and time and someday
It’s gonna pay.
I follow music like a moth to a flame
I got some friends making a name for themselves
Would I wanna help.

City of Angels that’s where God put Hollywood
City of Angels, California
And it was good.

My LA buddies are starting a band
They wanna know would I lend a hand – hey, I’m game
Like a moth to a flame.
LA people let you be
Any way that you wanna be – that’s my style
I’ll be there in a while.

City of Angels that’s where God put Hollywood
City of Angels, California
And it was good.

I’m going back, back to LA
I’m going back, back to LA
I’m going back, back to LA
