Hollywood |
| I got a picture of my friends and me |
| Sitting outside Thistletown Laundry at night |
| That looks like me between the Holly twins |
| Singing hey ho this is your life |
| And there’s old Ruby and her worn out magazines |
| And the guy we called Joe Cinnamon who’s polishing his speech |
| Hey it looks like Hollywood |
| Hey it looks like Hollywood |
| Joe married one of the Holly twins |
| And they ran the local five and dime |
| My mama told me that the other twin |
| Got a teaching job at Thistletown High |
| But me and Ruby and her worn out magazines |
| Jumped a box car on the western line by ol' Cole Martin’s stream |
| Well me and Ruby had big plans |
| Gonna' move to the city gonna' be larger than life |
| Just like the girl beside the Marlboro man |
| And the pretty lady in the Ivory ad |
| Thistletown, Indiana is no place for me |
| Give me miles and miles of neon signs and flashy magazines |
| Me, I sold my camera for a string of beads |
| And Ruby sold he mother’s china figurines |
| I got a picture of Ruby and me |
| Selling candy bars at the Roxy |
| The guy who took it called us calendar girls |
| And he said someday he’d make us famous |
| But me and Ruby never made no magazines |
| All we got was just a cold recurrent broken bottle dream |
