Lyrics
You were getting too big for this town,
So, I loaded up the pick-up and we headed on down,
To the big city lights of L.A. ,
Where all the movies get made.
We stayed at the dixie motel,
My heart was hurtin’, and you could tell,
That this life, it wasn’t for me,
But girl you gotta to follow your dreams.
Chorus
Gloomy days and matinees,
Help me think about all your lovely ways,
Sometimes love is stepping away,
Gloomy days and matinees.
Verse 2
That night we walked all over the stars,
I kinda knew it in my heart,
That this was more than 15 minutes of fame,
But girl I love you just the same.
Chorus
Gloomy days and matinees,
Help me think about all your lovely ways,
Sometimes love is stepping away,
Gloomy days and matinees.
Verse 3
I left a note I put it on your bed stand,
Hope you don’t hate me,
For leaving the way I am.
You’re too good to come back, and I’m too proud to stay.
Chorus
Gloomy days and matinees,
Help me think about all your lovely ways,
Sometimes love is stepping away,
Gloomy days and matinees.
You were getting too big for this town
