Lyrics The Avett Brothers

The Avett Brothers

Fisher Road to Hollywood

Regret for every step I took

From Fisher Road to Hollywood

Feelin' bad and actin' good

Never was content

It was hostel moves and hotel rooms

Watch my friends promote their dooms

From Pontiac to Newport News

Nothin' made much sense

And I had to leave a few behind

When they replaced the apple wine

With cocaine and codeine pills

I knew I was done

And I didn't really say goodbye

They'll walk their path and I'll walk mine

I will find other ways

To tear my body down

I am staying here with you

I've done all I know to do

They say "stand up straight and take your eyes

Off the wooden floor"

No, I didn't find what I was looking for

Still I had to go

From Fisher Road to Hollywood

Still I had to go

From Fisher Road to Hollywood

They taught some bigger words to me

At the university

Only it's a curse to speak

Without some regard

For the ones I'm talking to

Do I sound like a friend to you

Do we even speak the same

Language anymore

I am staying here with you

I've done all I know to do

They say "stand up straight and take your eyes

Off the ballroom floor"

Of course I didn't find what I was looking for

Still I had to go

From Fisher Road to Hollywood

Still I had to go

Still I had to go

From Fisher Road to Hollywood
