Boulevard Of Broken Dreams Lyrics - Singles - Corbin & Hanner

Bob Corbin (Bro N' Sis, BMI; Coljes, BMI)1995 

Well, they call me Hollywood, out on the street 

I'll be your guide tonight, the boulevard's my beat 

Gonna meet a lotta hustlers, who wanta make the big score 

Take a ride with me, I'll give you the tour 

Life is hard here and nothin's ever like it seems 

Down on the boulevard, the boulevard of broken dreams 

Sally, she's a dancer, down at the Lightnin' Bar 

They put dollars down her g-string, while she dreams she's a star 

Billy's a bouncer, he writes books on the side 

But he's gotta use his muscle to keep the drunks in line 

Life is hard here... 

Old Piano Jack, playin' barrell-house blues 

He says the style's comin' back and he believes it's true 

Lisa's an actress, that what she tells me 

From the johns I've seen her with, I guess she'd have to be 

Life is hard here... 

If you're wonderin' who I am , I'm the one to blame 

You can call me Hollywood, though I have many names 

I'm the one who lures you, from the cities and the towns 

I'm the man behind the curtain, shoutin' A come on down 

Life is hard here...
