Johan Fredriksson - The Streets of L.A [Original Song]

**** I have started a NEW CHANNEL for my own music, check it out!! - http://www.youtube.com/johanfredrikssoncom

My own song :) Recorded through my Zoom H4 and I used my Morgan acoustic guitar and my strat for the solos and comp.

The song is about Jack who has had a tough childhood and how his life looks today in the streets of L.A. A tradjic lyric but maybe, (unfortunatley), someone will recognize him-/herself...

Find this song and others on my website free to download: http://www.johanfredriksson.com


Lyrics
Have you ever looked out over the streets of L.A
All you see is the Hollywood sign and the folks who pay
This is the city of dreams for loving pairs
Its where we travel when we want some action in the air
But Jack is still waiting


He was born on the countryside with his family
His daddy beat him to sleep while his brother was in the navy
The sheets were red by blood and he couldnt stop the bleeding
Every morning he covered it up so his mother didnt have to see it
Yeah this was Jack

Ref
No one knows, no one cares what should they do
Jacks alone and what he does is not up to you
A beggar-boy doesnt need sympathy, its true
According to his father, Jack isnt worth more than you


However he knew how to use a baseball bat and he did
Right in the face of his dad and his mother couldnt believe it
She dragged down the curtains in case the cops were there to see it
From this moment he has been poor and lived as a beggar
In the streets of L.A


No one knows how Jacks doing now
If he is happy, drunk or dead inside a trunk
But whats for sure is that hes been a fighter all his life
And I wanted to tell you that the life in the streets of L.A
Isnt that easy


Ref
No one knows, no one cares what should they do
Jacks alone and what he does is not up to you
A beggar-boy doesnt need sympathy, its true
According to his father, Jack isnt worth more than you
