Lucero - Went Looking For Warren Zevon's Los Angeles Lyrics






The city is a sea of lights
From Venice Beach to Hollywood & Vine
Drinking whiskey in my winter coat
An Empty Hearted Town sure gets cold

Dan Tana's by the Troubadour
Harry Dean singing "Oh Danny Boy"
After hours at the Overpass
Hour after hour at the Overpass

I went looking for Warren Zevon's Los Angeles
I got turned around on Gower Avenue

So long, so long
I'm going back to Memphis with a picture and a song
So long, so long
I'm gonna find a jukebox everyone can sing along
Gonna find a jukebox everyone can sing along

We took some pictures in a photo booth
Gotta give her credit where the credit is due
The pretty girls and the crowded streets
Like Desperados waiting Under The Eaves

Fell in love but the love ran out
At Lucy's El Adobe by the Paramount
Margaritas under black palm trees
I've got time, no one is waiting for me

I went looking for Warren Zevon's Los Angeles
I got turned around on Gower Avenue

So long, so long
I'm going back to Memphis with a picture and a song
So long, so long
I'm gonna find a jukebox everyone can sing along
Gonna find a jukebox everyone can sing along

It's my own damn fault just how hard I fell
Never found the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel

So long, so long
I'm going back to Memphis with a picture and a song
So long, so long
I'm gonna find a jukebox everyone can sing along

So long, so long
I'm going back to Memphis with a picture and a song
So long, so long
I'm gonna find a jukebox everyone can sing along

So long, so long
I'm going back to Memphis with a picture and a song
So long, so long
I'm gonna find a jukebox everyone can sing along

So long, so long
So long, so long
So long, so long
So long, so long

Lucero Went Looking For Warren Zevon's Los Angeles Comments
  1. c.... m....

    I liked them ever since my friend introduced me in highschool ..my best girl and the war..I'm 32 now..So happy there still coming out with new music and haven't sold out..never sell out..we love you!!

  2. J.... L....

    ..sedim si na terase a pocuvam hudbu.. sledujem psy ako odfukuju po plnej miske.. uplna pohoda..

  3. B.... ....

    WARREN ZEVON LIVES!!!!!

  4. M.... P....

    They make the killerest tunes and lyrics with little to no effort. The most inspired musician in a hundred years is Ben.

  5. P.... B....

    Awesome

  6. e.... e....

    They remind me of the great California scene Warren Zevon came out of so it's no surprise they would do this great tribute for him.

  7. l.... c....

    Crazy that my name I got it from a Latin singer my mom admired I look up Lucero never realy do n I see thiersca band with my name n they look so cool n the signature that exactly how I sign my name thays crazy😰

  8. R.... F....

    this band is trash, they should be opening up for esme not how it is.

    R.... F....

    Have you ever heard them?

    R.... F....

    Okay, you have a right to an opinion. That being said, your opinion is awful. They have been working their ass off for so long its insane.

    You need a hug and some beer. Maybe some evil human being to break your heart. Not that I would actually wish that on anyone (even an asshole such as yourself), but listening to Lucero and heartbreak kinda go hand in hand.

  9. T.... G....

    Good lyrics and excellent musicians. Damn, Memphis raises some good boys.

  10. T.... S....

    This song is magical

  11. T.... H....

    omg this my crush name lucero

    T.... H....

    wtf does that even mean??

  12. S.... W....

    Great tribute to an amazing man.

  13. L.... Z....

    i actually found this band by accident while looking for the Spanish singer of the same name, no regrats no even one letter =p

  14. C.... K....

    Holy shit. I love Lucero but this song makes me so sad.

  15. N.... J....

    anyone got an idea what the 4th and 5th line are.... it's stumping me

    N.... J....

    +Nate Johnson sounds like an empty heart in town, sure gets cold

  16. j.... ....

    i have heard the whole album all 10 songs real good these guys are great

  17. p.... m....

    women and work was my favorite album they came out with when it came out. if you didn't like it to their other albums right away that's because love isn't always in your face. sometimes it grows on you . I don't know just rambling. I love this band, can do no wrong to me. this band has heart and is music that makes you feel alive.

    p.... m....

    After seeing them live, always in the same bar, I can say they are the best damn bar band-period. Always a little different and never fail to deliver.

  18. D.... S....

    They make me smile, sometimes they address the pain, but I still smile

  19. M.... ....

    This is perfect. It's amusing to see that people are angry that they don't put out the same album every couple years. The bigger a band gets, the more hands go into the production, it gets more refined, easier for the masses to listen to, shitty but natural progression. But the song writing and passion are still there. Might take a few listens (I'll admit I didn't like Women and Work at first) to appreciate though. Give it a chance lads.

  20. R.... M....

    I only listened to this song cause of the title.. Sometimes I dont know why bands are famous. Also, its pernounced Ze-von.. not zvon.

    R.... M....

    GENTLEMAN ADVENTURER Thank you so much! Very enlightening!!

  21. j.... ....

    great song man

  22. R.... E....

    I think Ben read Warren's mail...............

  23. G.... ....

    That outro though.

  24. R.... C....

    Love it! My favorite band!

  25. J.... F....

    And if California slides into the ocean
    Like the mystics and statistics say it will
    I predict this motel will be standing until I pay my bill

    J.... F....

    @Joey FiveTone still wakin up in the morning with shaking hands

    J.... F....

    @Joey FiveTone Zevon is still to this day my favorite songwriter

    J.... F....

    There is nothing better then having a few cocktails and letting warren sing your troubles away

    J.... F....

    +Joey FiveTone There actually was an unpaid bill. He felt bad about it, and paid up once his career took off and he had the money.

    J.... F....

    +Paul Goode
     But he beat out the bill by jumping out the bathroom window.

  26. R.... ....

    Hate it. Hate it. Hate it.

    R.... ....

    RxHeadKicks the world has a term for people like you. Haters...
    its not a term of endearment

  27. M.... M....

    Saw Ben play this song last night at The Basement East in Nashville. I agree that production is a bit "softer" than we are used to but I'm telling you, go see him play it live. You will not be disappointed

    M.... M....

    @Max Martilik It's definitely taking me a little longer than usual to get used to this. A lot 'softer' production wise, as you say. It's growing on me though.

    M.... M....

    @Max Martilik Was there as well super good live, we road tripped with them up to Lousiville the next night too, the rest of our group carried on to columbus and a couple are still on the tour. I had to get back to Austin. Apparently he played another couple new songs further on the tour

  28. A.... R....

    My boyfriend introduced me to Lucero's music about 2 years ago and I haven't stopped listening to them! Amazing music! Keep it up! and thanks for the signed poster! Love it!

    your, WISCONSIN FAN!

  29. B.... E....

    This makes me so happy

  30. K.... T....

    Anybody want to put out a guitar tab for this?

  31. w.... ....

    Sweet Jesus! So much in this song. The allusion to Zevon, the point to Lucero--Memphis boys and proud of it and to hell with the rest of the world, and then the song--evolved. Thanks guys.

  32. J.... H....

    Turkey lurkey Dee turkey lurkey dap I eat turkey then I take a nap.

  33. B.... H....

    Ben's voice doesn't seem as raspy in this one

    B.... H....

    +Brian H. He quit smoking.

    B.... H....

    Daniel Moore that's not true, I smoked a cigarette with him back in October at a show.

    B.... H....

    @Arron Farley Everybody backslides sometimes.

    B.... H....

    +Daniel Moore fair enough

  34. B.... T....

    Brings me back to when I was young and hurt with their old music but now it feels like a learning curve

  35. M.... ....

    Got to watch them perform at the Cain's in Tulsa, Oklahoma, after the show he came out and drank with my friends and myself. You can hear the passion for music in his voice and its carried over with every song he's wrote. Great guy and great music

  36. H.... G....

    Thank you guys! Looking forward for the new album!

  37. J.... C....

    Love it, so nice to know a new album is coming!!!!!!!!  Great Song guys!

  38. J.... H....

    I enjoy this. I will see Lucero live before I die.

    J.... H....

    Justin Holmes you won't be disappointed in the slightest bit!

    J.... H....

    Arron Farley i am watched them play live twice now! Most recently in memphis.. was an amazing show. it was so cold

    J.... H....

    are you dead yet?

  39. K.... L....

    This is ripping. After seeing them open for themselves at the Echoplex in LA and at a random Bowling alley in San Diego last winter, Its nice to hear this song. A little West Coast inspiration for an amazing band.

  40. C.... F....

    I don't know what to call this, if it's more mainstream, or what. But whatever it is, it is brilliant.

  41. A.... B....

    Such an improvement over Women & Work already

    A.... B....

    Really? They embraced the soul roots of Memphis on that record.

  42. J.... ....

    Lucero can do no wrong

    J.... ....

    I agree with this statement...

    J.... ....

    gonna find a jukebox everyone can sing along

    J.... ....

    Fuckin agree, they are the best, best concert I've seen, and shook Ben's hand in rocky mt , VA
