Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm standing at the crossroads in life
And I don't know where to go
You know you got my heart, babe
But my music's got my soul
Let me play it one more time
I'll tell the truth and make it rhyme
And hope they understand me
[Verse 2]
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray, the Lord, my soul to keep
If I die before I wake, feed Jake
He's been a good dog
My best friend, right through it all
If I die before I wake, feed Jake
[Verse 3]
Now, Broadway's like a sewer
Bums and hookers, everywhere
Wino passed out on the sidewalk
Doesn't anybody care?
Some say he's worthless, just let him be
I for one would have to disagree
And so would their mamas
[Verse 4]
Now I lay me down to sleep
And pray, the Lord, my soul to keep
If I die before I wake, feed Jake
He's been a good dog
My best friend, right through it all
If I die before I wake, feed Jake
[Verse 5]
Now, if you get an ear pierced
Some will call you gay
But, if you drive a pick-up, they'll say
"No, you must be straight"
What we are and what we ain't
What we can and what we can't
Does it really matter?
[Verse 6]
Now I lay me down to sleep
And pray, the Lord, my soul to keep
If I die before I wake, feed Jake
He's been a good dog
My best friend right through it all
If I die before I wake, feed Jake
If I die before I wake, feed Jake
If I die before I wake, feed Jake
