Each night out in Hollywood east is my last stand
I got out when I got over the drinking and azalea feast
All these bearded characters aren’t played by actors
They bring the local flavor and they scare each other
Frankie got in a fight when a dude slapped the street out by Barbary
Yates is committed, for a minute undecided
Where’s the future? Well there’s damn sure excitement
He may never see the end of it, there may never be another defining moment but we’ll make it
For a minute we spent every night courting Princess
Poetic kitchens, spilling beer in the basement and the rest of it
We’re gonna recognize this moment and leave everything out on the street out by scrappy knees
Lot of reasons to stay, lot of reasons to go
Come to call this my home
Lot of reasons to go, lot of reasons to stay
I’ll get out of the way
When Shaggy Beats went home to weigh his bets, Smoky G and I wrote the rest of it
We knew it’d be a hit, didn’t know it’d win back the kids
We played it for a packed room, the words were going straight through into the heart of a breakthrough
Something about those nights made us feel invincible, always remember incredible
Lot of reasons to stay, lot of reasons to go
Come to call this my home
Lot of reasons to go, lot of reasons to stay
I’ll get out of the way
