A 'Hollywood' song

lyrics

© & ℗ 2012, 2018 Craig Hallen Music
Written by Adam Dauphin / Peter Dobson / Craig Hallen

Ruby was a small-town girl
With big dreams in her head
She went to conquer Hollywood
With small-town discontent
By seventeen, the fame machine
Had put her on the silver screen
And Ruby said:

Hey, Bliss
We’ll strike a deal
Rescue me from all that’s real
‘Cause this small-town soul
Can’t hold the things it wants to feel
One kiss, and I’ll be yours
Bliss............................

Ruby gave it everything
Inhaled even more
Sued a dozen magazines
Just for keeping score
She played the boys and played around
Never kept a husband down
‘Cause Ruby swore:

Hey, Bliss
We’ll strike a deal
Rescue me from all that’s real
‘Cause this small-town soul
Can’t hold the things it wants to feel
One kiss, and I’ll be yours
Bliss............................

Ruby tripped and fell
When fate got in her way
She hit the ground with all the weight
Of all her yesterdays
And as she took her final bow
Ruby wasn’t backing down
And Ruby prayed:

Hey, Bliss
Let’s strike a deal
Rescue me from all that’s real
‘Cause this small-town soul
Can’t hold the things it wants to feel
One kiss, and I’ll be yours
Bliss............................
One kiss, and I’ll be yours
Bliss............................
