Lyrics:
She's a Good Girl
Loves Her Mamma
Loves Jesus
And America, Too.
She's a Good Girl
Crazy 'bout Elvis
Loves Horses
And her boyfriend, too
And it's a long day living in Encino
There's a freeway running through the yard
and I'm a bad boy
'cause I don't even miss her
i'm a bad boy
for breaking her heart
Chorus:
And I'm Free
Free Falling
Yeah I'm Free
Free Falling
And All the vampires
Walking through the Valley
move west down Ventura Boulevard
And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows
and the good girls are home with broken hearts
Chorus
Guitar Solo
I wanna glide down
Over Mullholland
I wanna write her
name in the sky
gonna freefall
out into nothing
gonna leave this world for awhile
Chorus
Free Falling, Yeah I'm free falling (etc)
