I got friends in New York City 'Cause everyone I know left town That's the place your day lit dreams go Where you can't see the sun go down Hold your head up, you're a beacon You pull me northward in my car You don't have to hit the big time, baby We know who you are I got friends in LA County Where the hillsides shine like stars And the people float like gold dust Through the red rope district bars Hold your head up, you're a beacon You pull me westward in my car You don't have to hit the big time, baby We know who you are Hold your head up, you're a beacon Don't let them think you've come that far You were always standing in the spotlight, baby We know who you are It's getting cold out on that big lake And the water's painted blue Don't let the skyline fool you, baby You know what to do You know what to do You know what to do
