Sometimes I walk and wish LA Was some small town near Monterey I close my eyes and ask the gods To make those Cadillacs dusty dogs I close my eyes and live I close my eyes and live another day
Sometimes I think I'll melt away And in the sidewalk cracks I'll stay And who will notice, who will call Whose life would change much if at all I close my eyes and live I close my eyes and live another day
Another day so far from the farms where I grew up Another day, another day, Another day so far from that single pair of eyes That speak to me of home Not another night alone
Another day is done I lay my eyes to rest There is food, I got a bed There's a roof over my head
Sometimes I think that everyone Really speaks a foreign tongue Like I say X and you hear Y But I push these thoughts from my mind And close my eyes and live I close my eyes and live another day
I close my eyes and live I close my eyes and live another day
