City of Lakes

This pavement feels cold on my face And my bones have seen better days Be a friend, pick me up off the ground Nice and easy, oooh I got a scar, you can see it from afar Like cigarette burns on the top of my guitar If you wish me luck, don't tell me to break a leg I coulda been walking on a peg And at the end of the day I will return to the city of lakes Where the real people roam close to where all the real waves break I got a girl, she got lots of style You can see every tooth in her mouth when she smiles She's prettier than you, and you, and you Yeah, she's prettier than you I got a dream, I hope that it comes true And if it don't, don't know what I'm gonna do I got a dream, I got a dream And at the end of the day I will return to the city of lakes Where the real people roam close to where all the real waves break I lost a friend here in this past year I miss his guitar playing in my ear Be a friend, take away all my fears Nice and easy, nice and easy, nice and easy
