Mae Jean Goes To Hollywood (Jackson Browne)

>Honey when I brought you here you said that you would sing(?)
>You said that you would win(?) your way to fortune and fame
>Now I've given everything to keep you warm and clean
>I didn't bat an eye when you changed your name
>I'm getting tired of hearing people call you someone else
>I'm getting tired of seeing you go to work in the morning and eating supper by myself
>Now this Hollywood producer has offered you the world
>He lets you drive his sporty new Camero
>Wonder just how many girls he's told that story to
>How many dreams have gone away in sorrow
>I'm getting tires of biting my nails and pumping gasoline
>I'm getting tired of waiting for you to figure out why this city is unclean

>Mae Jean run back home with me and I'll go back to working on your daddy's farm
>Mae Jean run back home with me
>This wicked cities bound to do us harm
>Now all this time I helped you with your promising career
>I never said one word about your singing
>I just want to let you know that you'll still be my star
>If you say goodbye to Hollywood
>And do your singing in the shower

>Mae Jean run back home with me back to where the air is clean + free
>May Jean run back home with me
>If this city doesn't get us first it's gonna sink into the sea

>From The Byrds Box Set Columbia/Legacy Records 1990
