Jamey Johnson - Playing The Part Lyrics






Taking a dip on the sunset strip in the mornin'
Ain't nothing like the smell of tofu and high dollar wine
They said maybe all of them cars locking down the I-5
Yeah I find it amazing these rats I've been chasing are helping me remember a time

When the only LA I knew was lower Alabama
Back when me and Hannah were wishing on a southern star
Now its so complicated, I really hate it, why'd I ever want to go so far
Taking depression pills in the Hollywood Hills
Acting like I'm playing the part

All this gripping and grinning, losing and winning, and running
Promises break like an egg on the hot asphalt
What the hell was I thinking, drinking like I'd never get caught
These high dollar women, and the fame and the fortune, ain't worth the ticket I bought

When the only LA I knew was lower Alabama
Back when me and Hannah were wishing on a southern star
Now its so complicated, I really hate it, why'd I ever want to go so far
Taking depression pills in the Hollywood Hills
Acting like I'm playing the part

Taking depression pills in the Hollywood Hills
Acting like I'm playing the part

    hey Matt it's Tina long time ago anyway if you're still listening to this you watching the comments Michael Martin is going to be playing solo at stonewerks 7 to 11 this Saturday night as of this posting so don't rely on me for f****** any common dates cuz I suck at that s*** still. Anyway did have a lot of fun with you back when I hung out sorry I didn't know you were friends but it was cool cuz we actually got to talk anyway I hope you're watching the comments on this and if you're not so be it and, if you're not doing anything this Saturday try to make it out to stonewerks in San Antonio and see Michael Martin solo show. Otherwise I'll bother you about it later when I'm older and more decrepit and that would suck! Kek! man try to make the show if you're watching the comments then we can we can talk.. I like talking in public cuz it's harder for the NSA to listen. Anyway either see you there or see you later bye loves you still anyway
