Tony Lucca - True Story lyrics

Rolled on out of Motown back in '91 Left them bitter winters for the Florida summer sun Breakin' hearts in theme parks Smiled for anyone for anyone who held a camera to my face and said "Say cheese!" Wound up on the telly With a twinkle in my eye Twinkle disappeared the night I started gettin' high And everything seemed so absurd Until the night I finally heard the sound of Coltrane It brought me to my knees There's a long drive straight through the night Starin' out the window Lookin' for the first signs of daylight Just hold on tight With all of your might See it takes the time it takes to get it right So I peddled across the country Wound up here in Hollywood Left my high school sweetheart when I realized I could She became a movie star I've took to sleepin' in my car Still singin' songs about her to this day Drove myself to New York City Chasin' love again She moved me to tears and then I wound up movin' in That Apple got the best of me So I packed up the rest of me And I grabbed a cab, said "Straight to JFK!" There's a long drive straight through the night Starin' out the window Lookin' for the first signs of daylight Just hold on tight With all of your might See it takes the time it takes to get it right Now I'm back in Hollywood This guitar in my hand These days I'm only using words that I can understand Singin' songs, I'll carry on Keep at it until I'm dead and gone Then maybe my gravestone will say There's a long drive straight through the night Starin' out the window Lookin' for the first signs of daylight Just hold on tight With all of your might See it takes the time it takes to get it right They say it takes the time it takes to get it right Third time's the charm You see, it take the time it take to get it right
