Story behind the song
I wrote this song in the late 80's when a woman lost her life doing stunts for a movie - I was living in LA at the time had a good friend who lived just off Hollywood Boulevard, so I came up with this song. I think it would be a great song for a female vocalist to record.
Lyrics
Hollywood Boulevard
chorus
Out on Hollywood Boulevard
The stars in concrete couldn't compete with your eyes
Out on Hollywood Boulevard
The tinsel won't keep, it's such a cheat
That street has a cold, cold heart
v.1
You did the stunts for the Hollywood stars
Flying so brave and so free
My life was steady and I guess that's why
You needed someone like me
prechorus
Oh' I could never really tell was it truth or fantasy
You said you wanted to settle down and raise up a family
repeat chorus
v.2
This star belongs to Marilyn Monroe
We stood right here when we kissed
You said that after your next picture show
We'd make up for what we had missed
prechorus
But all I got was telephone call, they said that things had gone wrong
Now every night I walk the Boulevard, oh, baby, I'm so lost.
repeat chorus and tag
