Karaoké Picture Postcards From L. A. Joshua Kadison

I'm the piano player down at Eddie's bar

And Rachel she's the waitress who wants to be a star

She swears she's gonna make it make it big someday

And she'll send me picture postcards from LA

When it's time for closing

I play while Rachel cleans

She listens to my music

I listen to her dreams

She swears she's gonna make it she's going all the way

I say send me picture postcards from LA

Send me postcards from LA signed with love forevermore

Picture postcards from LA to hang on my refrigerator door

Rachel if you find me one

I'd love a picture of the California sun

When Rachel shares my pillow she always asks me things

Like do I really think she's pretty do I like the way she sings

I don't know how to answer so I always smile and say

I say send me picture postcards from LA

Send me postcards from LA signed with love forevermore

Picture postcards from LA to hang on my refrigerator door

Rachel if you find me one

I'd love a picture of the California sun

Sometimes Rachel stands up in the middle of the bar

And does a scene from the late show

We all clap our hands as she puts her apron on

And says next week

I'm gonna go

She'll even buy a ticket and pack her things to leave

Though we all know the story we pretend that we believe

But something always comes up

Something always makes her stay

And still no picture postcards from LA

Send me postcards from LA signed with love forevermore

Picture postcards from LA to hang on my refrigerator door

Rachel if you find me one

I'd love a picture of the California sun

I'm the piano player down at Eddie's bar

And Rachel she's the waitress who wants to be a star
