Sunset Boulevard
Jackie Boyz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was on the sunset boulevard*
When she broke my heart,
Tell me on the sunset boulevard
When lights go dark

I was on the sunset boulevard
When she broke my heart,
Tell me on the sunset boulevard
When lights go dark

I hear a story about a little trip
I took out west
Tryn'a find someone to love,
With about a hundred dollars in my pocket, ID in my wallet
I was gon' make it work

I met a girl from the city up Malabu
Where all they do is surf and never wear shoes
I thought I found a keeper,
A looks can be a deceiver

I spent two weeks kissing underneath the stars,
That's wen I told me I didn't have a heart
Wat was I to do-oh
They say good things never last so I'm on you

I was on the sunset boulevard
When she broke my heart,
Tell me on the sunset boulevard
When lights go dark

I was on the sunset boulevard
When she broke my heart,
Tell me on the sunset boulevard
When lights go dark

And now I gotta walk home, walk home,
And now I gotta walk home on sunset boulevard
There was a [? ]
Wen I met her she was as pretty as I can tell
Who would had know she had a bf,
And a GF wen we were fooling around
She had me all messed up for a minute
She was so perfect to be truth never forget it yea
I guess I have to go back to Georgia
My love is running low in California

(Can't
Make
Out
This
Part)

I was on the sunset boulevard
When she broke my heart,
Tell me on the sunset boulevard
When lights go dark

I was on the sunset boulevard
When she broke my heart,
Tell me on the sunset boulevard
When lights go dark

I was on the sunset boulevard
When she broke my heart,
Tell me on the sunset boulevard
When lights go dark

I was on the sunset boulevard
When she broke my heart,
Tell me on the sunset boulevard
When lights go dark





And now I gotta walk home, walk home
And now I gotta walk home on sunset boulevard.
