Spent some time looking westwardly and
Thinking about you
Wondering if you're still living in East LA

Do you still play for that lounge band?
Did they give you that raise?
Or did you finally tell them they can shove that crappy job?

I hope you're happy there, out in your deep blue sea
I wish you could've been a little happier with me
But I know the sun is shining for you there in East LA

I know you said you had to go
But there's one thing I've never known
What's so great about LA when I'm still living in Chicago?

Your face goes through my mind on sunny days when it rains
I think about writing you, but I'm afraid of what I'd say
Like, baby, come home

I hope you're happy there, out in your deep blue sea
I really do mean that sincerely
If the sun is shining on me, I know it's shining on you
There in East LA
