Seger, Bob - Hollywood Nights Lyrics






She stood there bright as the sun on that California coast
He was a midwestern boy on his own
She looked at him with those soft eyes, so innocent and blue
He knew right then he was too far from home
He was too far from home

She took his hand and she led him along that golden beach
They watched the waves tumble over the sand
They drove for miles and miles
up those twisting turning roads
Higher and higher and higher they climbed

And those Hollywood nights
In those Hollywood hills
She was looking so right
In her diamonds and frills
All those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
She had all of the skills

He'd headed west 'cause he felt that a change
would do him good
See some old friends, good for the soul
She had been born with a face that would let her get her way
He saw that face and he lost all control
He had lost all control

Night after night, day after day, it went on and on
Then came that morning he woke up alone
He spent all night staring down at the lights of LA
Wondering if he could ever go home

And those Hollywood nights
In those Hollywood hills
She was looking so right
It was giving him chills
In those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
With a passion that kills

In those Hollywood nights
In those Hollywood hills
She was looking so right
In her diamonds and frills
All those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
She had all of the skills

    nobody ever told me that the silver bullet band was {with bob} a 14 piece wall of sound. . . .wow what a tremendous concert ! studio quality sound - all the hits - rrreally fkng LOUD . . . .and cooked to perfection.

  13. R.... M....

    i saw the beach boys in 78 . . .deep purple mid 80s . . .stones late 90s. . . . . .and many astounding acts in betweeen - but none compared with seger in edmonton a few years back. . . . . .it was a rescheduled show due to a monster storm on the original date , and it turned out to be their last show of the tour. . . .man what a blessing. . . . .they ripped the piss out of it. . . .start to end. . . .it truly was something to behold.

  14. D.... G....

    So great to see the complete lyrics here ... it's a message that comes at us thru guitars & percussion, not to mention the voice of the relentless Bob Seger. Add the background singers at the end - which could have gone on another minute or two - and you have one of the true ROCK CLASSICS of our lifetime. It's superior in every way !

  15. K.... S....

    Four of us in those Hollywood hills up by the Hollywood sign. I had to go peek through the big Holly O To see the valley and sunset strip. Two of us were married, only 17 the other two were 19 and 17. This song brings us back every time. It’s one of my favorite to dance. Love Bob Seger’s Everything!

    Love this story! I was a young dumb-ass innocent kid, when I lived in Hollywood, hanging drywall. I had more fun there, in the spring & summer of '79, than any time of my life. And I speak literally!

  48. S.... R....

    99% gta fans
    1% seger fans

  49. S.... C....

    I strongly advise using caution when playing this song while driving. I have had two speeding tickets I can directly associate with it. And one time where the cop just laughed and gave me a friendly warning because he was a big Seger fan too.

  50. M.... S....

    ROCK AND ROLL!

  51. p.... p....

    Anyone listening it now at 2019

    p.... p....

    Ya right now at 755 am really loud working out 💪

    p.... p....

    My dad and I killed many miles with good old Bob and the silver BBS 💙😂

    p.... p....

    na it 2020 bitch

  52. S.... ....

    So people buy these songs and then ban them on youtube, and radio so they can bring in the crappy sound of POP rock. Losing how to play real instruments. And singing with real tone. Shame. Rock on Bob. Hope they never get this song too.

    I took a girl on a vacation from the midwest to LA, the first night we went to the beach and watched the waves crash while smoking a joint, I had already been to LA a couple of times so I let her choose where she wanted to go, the next day we took a hike in West Hollywood... can't remember the name of the hike but it was long but great. We followed it to a trip to Yosemite upon those long and winding roads all the way up to half dome, on the way back which was a four hour drive I looked at her and I said I wanted to play a song just because I loved the song so much... Well I put it on and realized the only thing that was missing was that she wasn't from LA but from the same part of the midwest...I fell in love with her that night, wish I had better news right now but still trying to figure out what's going to happen between us, she knows how I feel about her and she still wants to hang out with me, I'm crossing my fingers, the love from this woman would make me complete, oh AND I LOVE THIS FUCKING SONG.

  55. J.... ....

    REAL MUSIC!!!!

  56. F.... S....

    A TRUE ROCK N ROLL LEGEND. AND I MEAN LEGEND.

  57. G.... D....

    This is this kind of song you'd play while cruising with the top down in a convertible during a summer evening.

  58. D.... D....

    Just saw him in Missouri, great stuff! Do know how many mid 20s ppl listen to him but I got hooked with Strut from GTA 4 in my teens! 😎🤘

  61. K.... P....

    One of the best 25 second openings ever!

  62. D.... L....

    This song just narrates a great dusk / night drive on a hot summer night, here in LA everyone has had these drive times this song describes

  63. D.... C....

    when you found a great woman not plays

  64. M.... P....

    Back when California wasn’t the communist shithole it is today.

  65. L.... ....

  70. M.... ....

    This song always creeped me out a bit. Just kind of pulls you into a trance with the lyrics and drum beat.

  71. T.... ....

  76. R.... l....

    Me liking this kind of music makes me think I was born in the wrong era

  77. D.... R....

    I haven't heard this forever. Memories are flooding back, sitting around a campfire with my siblings laughing, eating, teasing each other. How I'm missing those years late 70s early 80s... Now we barely see each other, I miss you my sister's.

  78. l.... ....

    From Bob himself: "The chorus to this song came into my head one night in 1977 as I was driving through the Hollywood Hills. Our drummer, David Teegarden, played an entire set of drums as we recorded and overdubbed another entire set of drums playing a different pattern. In other words, there's two sets of everything: snare, kick-drum, hi-hat, etc. Billy Payne (of Little Feat) sat in with us for the first time and played the last two instruments, piano and organ. When he was done, he asked for a tape to listen to on the way home. he called me the next day while he had been listening, he looked down and found himself going 100 miles an hour on the freeway." THAT, my friend, is the power that this song has over you!!!!!

    l.... ....

    when you find your car levitating off the cliff on Mulholland Drive, you know you got somethin there.

    :59 that's why you don't see vocal covers of this on YT. No one can sound like Bob Seger when he pushes up into that high range.
