Song lyrics

She wants to live in LA

Come put your ash in my tray


Once upon a funky crime

We were standing in the line

And now, we're walking Melrose down to Vine


I was asking her to live on my farm

And she was telling me no not today

I was telling her to do no harm

And she was telling me she could not stay


She'd rather live in LA

Down in Marina Del Rey


I love her, I need her

Can't stop until I feed her

I want her so badly

Hell no my name ain't Bradley


I'd wash her and clean her

Please tell me, have you seen her?

Outlast her, drive past her

Margarita gonna be my master


Bella cries and that's alright, she's

Weeping on my shoulder again, well

Bella lies and that's my type, I

Wish that I could hold her

Bella cries and that's alright, she's

Leaking on my shoulder again, well

Bella lies and that's my type, I

Wish that I could hold


She wants to live in LA

Where every dog has her day


Flip flops in the toaster now

Scotch tape on this broken vow

And wow, it's time to live without my puppy's chow


I was asking her to live in the sticks

And she was telling me there is no way

The cheeky monkey was an anarchist

And she was telling me she could not stay


She'd rather live in LA

Down in Marina Del Rey


I love her, I need her

Can't stop until I feed her

I want her so badly

Hell no my name ain't Bradley


Bella cries and that's alright, she's

Weeping on my shoulder again, well

Bella lies and that's my type, I

Wish that I could hold her

Bella cries and that's alright, she's

Leaking on my shoulder again, well

Bella lies and that's my type, I

Wish that I could hold her


Out on the country road, I sold my 40

This comeback episode, hold on shorty

Yes, Frank Sinatra knows

The summer wind will blow

And skinny mornings drop below


Sold my 40

To Northern Jordie

I'll tell you when I move

To hell and then I'll prove

The violin said, oh, woah, woah

And now the moment

The one we notice


Bella cries and that's alright, she's

Weeping on my shoulder again, well

Bella lies and that's my type, I

Wish that I could hold her

Bella cries and that's alright, she's

Leaking on my shoulder again, well

Bella lies and that's my type, I

Wish that I could hold Bella

Leaking on my shoulder again, that Bella

Baby girl is on my team now, Bella

Weeping on my shoulder again, well, Bella
