Fisher Road To Hollywood - The Avett Brothers

Regret for every step I took

From Fisher Road to Hollywood

Feelin' bad and actin' good

Never was content

It was hostel moves and hotel rooms

Watch my friends promote their dooms

From Pontiac to Newport News

Nothing made much sense

Now I had to leave a few behind

When they replaced the apple wine

With cocaine and codeine pills

I knew I was done

And I didn’t really say goodbye

They’ll walk their path and I’ll walk mine

I will find another way

To tear my body down

I am staying here with you

I’ve done all I know to do

They say, «stand up straight and take your eyes off the wooden floor.»

No, I didn’t find what I was looking for

Still I had to go

From Fisher Road to Hollywood

Still I had to go

From Fisher Road to Hollywood

They taught some bigger words to me

At the university

Only it’s a curse to speak

Without some regard

For the one I’m talking to

Do I sound like a friend to you?

And do we even speak the same language anymore?

I am staying here with you

I’ve done all I know to do

They say, «stand up straight and take your eyes off the ballroom floor.»

Of course I didn’t find what I was looking for

Still I had to go

From Fisher Road to Hollywood

Still I had to go

From Fisher Road to Hollywood

Still I had to go
