Tell me, would you be alright?
Tell me, do you sleep well at night?
Tell me ‘bout your trip to hollywood, trip to hollywood.

Tell me, did you go far?
Tell me, did you make it as a movie star?
Did you see your name in marquee, your name in marquee light?

Was it worth all those tears that you had to cry?
And you just lost all your ground when you said goodbye…
Then you lose yourself and come back home;
The ones you loved, well, they've already flown.
You couldn't see the ground from where you are.
Was it worth all your pain, little movie star?

Well, tell me was it worth the search for your lights?
Tell me, was it worth all the tears you cried?
You know it broke your mama's heart when you said goodbye.
I saw you just the other day, and when I asked you about la…
You said some things that hurt me more than just on my arms
And through the pain and the shakes and the teardrops that took you far…
You just lost all your ground from who you are.

Then you lose yourself and come back home.
The ones you loved, well, they've already flown.
You couldn't see the ground from where you are.
Hey you lose yourself; you've lost your way.
You're not the first to get high in la.
You couldn't see the ground from where you are
And was it worth all your pain little movie star?
You just lost all your ground, little movie….

Tell me, would you be alright?

Tell me, would you be alright?
Tell me, do you sleep well at night?
Tell me ‘bout your trip to hollywood, your trip to hollywood.
