Bobby's driving through the city tonight,
through the lights in a hot new rent-a-car
He joins the lovers in his heavy machine
It's a scene down on Sunset Boulevard

Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, my baby
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, my baby

Johnny's taking care of things for a while,
and his style is so right for troubadours
They caught him running with his face to the door,
now he won't be my fast gun anymore

Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, my baby
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, my baby

Moving on is a chance that you take
everytime you try to stay together
whoa-oa-ho-ho-hoo
Say a word out of line
and you find that the friends you had are gone forever, forever

So many faces in and out of my life
Some will last,
some will just be now and then
Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes
I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again

Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, my baby
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye, my baby
Yeah, say goodbye
Yeah, say goodbye
Yeah, he's gotta say goodbye
He's gotta say goodbye
He's gotta say goodbye
Say goodbye
Yeah, say goodbye,
say goodbye, say goodbye
You gotta say goodbye
Say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye
