One day as I used to say I'd be walkin' out your door

Got to follow fame to fortune… gonna finally make my score

No way I can stay around in this small town waitin' for

Time to sorrow my tomorrow till it's yesterday once more

Night train… California rain… all the way to Hollywood

Let me say it in the movies… play the home-town kid makes good

Ain't no way I can turn around… I'm committed to the core

Still my hollow pride I'll be swallowin' till it's yesterday once more

Everyone's "Baby"

Everything's "Maybe"

Every night's "love" come mornin' disappears

Every hard case and face is so damned insincere

Every "star" that chases this place is left traced in tears

Still I'm here…

No dimes after all this time… I've got nothin' left to give

I would tell you how I discovered that this ain't no life to live

Anyway what could I say that you didn't know before

Still a dreamer… still I go dreamin' back…

Till it's yesterday once more

Everyone's "Baby"

Everything's "Maybe"

Everyone's "Baby"

Everything's "Maybe"
