Well I shook hands with the devil
Down on the south side
And he bought us both a drink
With a pad and a pencil sat by his side
I said Tell me what you think
I`ve been looking for my savior
Looking for my truth
I even asked my shrink
He brought me down to his level
Said Son you`re not special
You won`t find him where you think
You won`t find him down on Sunset
Or at a party in the hills
At the bottom of the bottle
Or when you`re tripping on some pills
When they sold you the dream
You were just 16
Packed a bag and ran away
And it`s a crying shame
You came all this way
`Cause you won`t find Jesus in LA
And it`s a crying shame
You came all this way
`Cause you won`t find Jesus in LA
Took a sip of his whiskey
Said Now that you`re with me
Well I think that you should stay
Yeah I know you`ve been busy
Searching through the city
So let me share the way
I know I`m not your savior
Know I`m not your truth
But I think we could be friends
He said Come down to my level
Hang out with the devil
Let me tell you in the end
You won`t find him down on sunset
Or at a party in the hills
At the bottom of the bottle
Or when you`re tripping on some pills
When they sold you the dream
You were just 16
Packed a bag and ran away
And it`s a crying shame you came all this way
`Cause you won`t find Jesus in LA
And it`s a crying shame you came all this way
`Cause you won`t find Jesus in LA
And that is when I knew that
It was time to go home
And that is when I realized that I was alone
And all the vibrant colors
From the lights fade away
And I don`t care what they say
You won`t find him down on sunset
Or at a party in the hills
At the bottom of the bottle
Or when you`re tripping on some pills
When they sold you the dream
You were just 16
Packed a bag and ran away
And it`s a crying shame you came all this way
`Cause you won`t find Jesus in LA
I won`t find him down on sunset
Or at a party in the hills
At the bottom of the bottle
Or when I`m tripping on some pills
When they sold me the dream I was just 16
Packed my bag and ran away
And it`s a crying shame I came all this way
`Cause I won`t find Jesus in LA
And it`s a crying shame I came all this way
`Cause I won`t find Jesus in LA
