lyrics

The only way up is west, I been told
Playin' rock n' roll and mining Acapulco Gold
Sorry baby, I ain't stayin' the night
I know we had our little ride, but it'll be alright, yeah
You shoulda known I never really been the settle in type

You know I'm better off in LA
(Better off in LA)
I know you're better off anyway
(Better off, you're better off, you're better off)
Sorry baby, there ain't nothin' to say
I got the desert waitin' for me and it's nearly break of day
I love ya baby, but I know I'm better off in LA

Honey, you know that I hate to be cold
But there's nothin' left to hold here, I already sold my soul, yeah
You know there ain't no savin' me
Ain't no rest for the wicked, they say
Ain't no rest for me, I wouldn't have no other way, no
You're sweet, sugar, but I stayed as long as I could stay

You know I'm better off in LA
(Better off in LA)
I know you're better off anyway
(Better off, you're better off, you're better off)
Sorry baby, there ain't nothin' to say
I got the desert waitin' for me and it's nearly break of day
I love ya baby, but I know I'm better off in LA

Better off in LA
(Better off in LA)
I'm better off in LA
(Better off in LA)
I'm better off in LA
(Better off in LA)
I'm better off in LA
(Better off in LA)
(Better off, I'm better off, I'm better off, I'm better-)

You know I'm better off in LA
(Better off in LA)
I know you're better off anyway
(Better off, you're better off, you're better off)
Sorry baby, there ain't nothin' to say
I got the desert waitin' for me and it's nearly break of day
I love ya baby, but I know I'm better off in LA
