Karaoké THE ONLY TIME IT RAINS IN HOLLYWOOD Red Leather

I saw a man without his shoes on the corner drinking booze

He was screamin' life ain't fair and he said his name was Pete

Asked him why he's on the street he looked down with such despair

He told me back when I was twenty-one

I had a wife a job, a son

I remember when life was so sweet but then I started gamblin'

I lost my house my wife, my kid ever since can't get back on my feet

So learn from my mistakes before it's too late the only time it rains in Hollywood

Is when somebody cries

People come out here to chase their dreams but dreams come here to die

Where the dreams come to die

Where the dreams come to die

Walkin' Hollywood and Vine saw a woman with a sign

Asked me could I spare some change she had tombstones in her eyes

As I caught her by surprise asked her why the long face

And she said back when I was just eighteen had dreams of the silver screen

Left Detroit to be a movie star and I had a taste of fame

That was until

I met cocaine now I sleep on

Sunset Boulevard

So learn from my mistakes before it's too late

The only time it rains in Hollywood is when somebody cries

People come out here to chase their dreams but dreams come here to die

The only time it rains in Hollywood is when somebody cries

People come out here to chase their dreams but dreams come here to die

Where the dreams come to die

I heard a kid playing guitar singin' out his broken heart

He wore a hat to hide his face and Lord knows that times are hard

I threw some money in his jar 'cos I loved the way he played

And he said

I been singin' seven years and every night

I shed a tear

'Cos I don't know if anybody cares about the music that I write

'Cos it's the story of my life one day I will be a millionaire
