[Verse 1]

The gentleman's in the lane

Spinning his hat on a cane

Stepping out

Out for change

Good morning all, it's a beautiful day

The generals are winning a war

Seemed suicidal before

You came along, now

Now I'll protect you

Long as you stay

[Chorus]

L.A

Morning had to come

I'd be walking in the sun

Living in the day

But last night I was about to throw it all away

[Verse 2]

If patience started a band

I'd be her biggest fan

Look at me, I'm talking to you

I don't want the lead in your play

The star's just a part of the scene

The gentleman in green

Paying off out on the street

I can't go home

It's not on my way

[Chorus]

L.A

Things I've never done

Cars parked in the sun

Living in the day

But last night I was about to throw it all away

Last night I was about to throw it all away

Last night I was about to throw it all away

Last night I was about to throw it all away
