Butch Walker - East Coast Girl Lyrics






Yeah everything's going pretty par for the course
Got back problems, grey hair, craving a Porsche
If you make it this far without killing yourself
You got it made though
Got a little place in Venice next to a lady with nine cats
Walk up Abbott Kinney watching business collapse
It all reminds me when you moved here from New York in '88
Yeah

So Johnnie tell me that you're alright
I wanna cover you up tonight
Give me one more chance to show you something real
You can run but you can't hide
It's a cruel, cruel summer outside
Shine on little baby, you're too good for this world
Just another broken east coast girl

There's a guy on Lincoln Boulevard where I get my medication
I wake up after three hours and I fall asleep, mid-conversation
I'm pretty sure it's a habit
But I'll talk myself out of that one too, you know
You were always good at talking us out of trouble with the cops
Made everybody feel good about the fact that they were not
I just wish I could go back in time and find that perfect moment for you

So Johnnie tell me that you're alright
I wanna cover you up tonight
Give me one more chance to show you something real
You can run but you can't hide
It's a cruel, cruel summer outside
Shine on little baby, you're too good for this world
Just another broken east coast girl

Baby, baby, baby where are you?
Baby, baby, baby where are you?
Baby, baby, baby where are you now?
Baby, baby, baby where are you?
Baby, baby, baby where are you?
Baby, baby, baby where are you now?

So Johnnie tell me that you're alright
I wanna cover you up tonight
Give me one more chance to show you something real
You can run but you can't hide
It's a cruel, cruel summer outside
Shine on little baby, you're too good for this world
Just another broken east coast girl

Baby, baby, baby where are you?
Baby, baby, baby where are you?
Baby, baby, baby where are you now?
Baby, baby, baby where are you?
Baby, baby, baby where are you?
Baby, baby, baby where are you now?

    Fuckin Legend man

  2. C.... L....

    Holy crap its Murdoch!!! He's one of the best villains of all time--and rockers as well.

  3. P.... ....

    Butch WALKER I love you because you have the same profile as Michael J. FOX

  4. J.... T....

    Just heard this last night 1st time on Underground Garage. Well I'm fuckin" hooked.

  5. T.... W....

    Sweet nod to James Honeyman-Scott!

  6. C.... J....

    5 dudes roll up in a Jeep Wrangler with AR's that have no magazine in them. Looks legit.

  7. A.... L....

    Butch, when I hear this song, I can see the spots. Living in LA is crazy and knowing you prob go to the same bud shop as I.

  8. M.... P....

    In an ideal world Butch would be a Huuuuuuuge star. Any change we'll get to see him ( if possible with The Black Widows)in the near future on the old continent ( if possible in a midget country called Belgium)??

  9. K.... H....

    You're just badass!!!!  I love this!!!

  10. C.... R....

    Very versatile songwriter and musician.

  11. M.... Y....

    Better than last couple efforts. I like that the song has a little rock in it. I'm a Walker fan but I am more of a fan when he was trying to be hair metal in Southgang or Modern Rock in Marvelous 3. Solid song but too me it's an attempt to be Bruce Springsteen 30 years ago all that's missing is the white t-shirt, bandana and singing Born to Run which this song is very similar too.

  12. M.... ....

    I liked this song better when it was called "KID" by the Pretenders ...

  13. K.... P....

    woooooow 💓

  14. d.... ....

    wow, eerie now that you look at who's the president of the us

  15. M.... B....

    I wish I was the girl in this video

    M.... B....

    you wanna slit your throat?

  16. m.... ....

    Sucks. Stop doing tributes to Petty, Jeff Lynne, Steve Miller, Bruce, Dexy's etc... and get back to making your own stuff it rocks! Seriously I think he joined Bruce on the crapper singing this tune.

  17. O.... ....

    Like the song.

  18. R.... K....

    Bruce Springsteen feel... You can do better.

  19. J.... G....

    I like this song a lot, but I am not a fan of the Nazi symbolism, murder and suicide. What were you thinking Bro?

  20. J.... M....

    My jaw dropped.. wow man, this is amazing. I don't know if I should laugh and applaud you cause it's unbelievably real or feel sad and somewhat ashamed but still I would fucking love Bahahaha

  21. S.... W....

    Here for Pete :P

  22. h.... ....

    sounds just like Pretenders riff on "Kid".

  23. J.... M....

    One of the best works I've seen in a long time. Great job, sir.

  24. f.... ....

    total Pretenders.  this will be another outstanding live tour.

  25. D.... S....

    Surprise appearance by Pete Wentz? 3:15

  29. a.... a....

    is this a Springsteen tribute?

  30. V.... H....

    Love it. And whoever down-voted this is full of sh*t, and has no taste.

  31. A.... C....

    Love it! This may have become my favorite Butch album ever!

  32. S.... N....

    Ha! Everything was dirty except for the Jeep.
