Back In L A 
by 
Will Jennings 
Joe Sample 
recording of 1992 
from 
There Is Always One More Time (MCA MCAD-10295) 
From Hollywood and Vine 
To the Sunset Strip 
There's so much going on 
You can lose your grip 
From early in the morning 
Until late at night 
They'll do you so wrong 
They'll do you so right 
Back in L.A. 
Waiting for the sun to shine 
Back in L.A. 
Living down a life of crime 
Back in L.A. 
Working on another line 
Back in L.A. 
To pick up the dime 
You must do the time 
From way up in the canyons 
Where the hot winds howl 
To the mean city streets 
Where the night hawks prowl 
I can feel the rhythm play 
The whole night long 
Guess I'll stay in L.A. 
And listen to this song 
Back in L.A. 
Waiting for the sun to shine 
Back in L.A. 
Living down a life of crime 
Back in L.A. 
Working on another line 
Back in L.A. 
To pick up the dime 
You must do the time 
You must do the time
