New York to LA
l.a. givin' me the blues again
i ain't leavin' i ain't never comin' back again

he was a friend of many
back in new york city
young hustler
he was down in l.a.
hangin' deuces and treys
under cover
spendin' some time
up on sunset and vine
drinkin' sake' all night
then the sky turned all white
i saw snow in the summer time

(hook)
l.a. givin' me the blues again
i ain't leavin'
i ain't never comin' back again

sho nuff ready for fun
rollin' black chicks and blondes
in his mercedes
rented house on the hill
somebody rolled up a bill
and things got crazy
three on a vine could be fine
when you're out on vacation
can't be wrong
then the sky turned all white
i saw snow in the summer time

(hook)
l.a. givin me the blues again
i ain't leavin' i ain't never comin' back again
