Watch a silly little live video of Andrew doing an acoustic version of this song last summer in Malibu, CA.

lyrics
Down in Texas
Where Momma and Papa live
Gotta lotta money
But they don’t wanna give it to me
Call me a fool
Say I’ll never find happiness
Livin’ in a town
So full of emptiness
My Momma says she gonna pray
But Momma this is where I want to stay
(Chorus)
L.A. is where I belong
Even when everything is going wrong
L.A. is where I belong
Writing little ditties
And rock and roll songs
Boys on the westside
Holdin’ hands real tight
Girls on the eastside
Little Joy every night
Down in the Valley
It’s a hundred and two degrees
Gave a man a dollar downtown
Because he said please
And that God would bless my soul
Well thank you sir for lettin’ me know
(Chorus)
(Solo)
Papa says I’ll be okay
Momma cryin’ baby home today
The latest from Indonesian band IGMO runs the gamut, offering gristle-y American Southern Rock, proto-punk, and more. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 9, 2022
“No Dados” does all that rock ‘n’ roll, at its most sorrow-driven, ever wanted to do for anyone—and that’s to fix a broken heart. Bandcamp Album of the Day Apr 25, 2019
Don't believe the name of their latest album; jangle-pop hooks and stacked grunge guitars are two of the Bay Area band's greatest gifts. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 16, 2023
