Lyrics

I felt a little uneasy on Easy Street
Out of place and incomplete
Call it guilt
Call it what you will
Kiss goodbye to summer sky
Hollywood and Malibu tongues
Through thick and thin
You've got a good friend in me
Just give me a beer and give me a bed
Chase the demons out of my head
Play me a song and sing me to sleep
And meet me in the middle of my dreams
Well I've seen the sun rise from the cliffs at Point Reyes
And I've seen it set upon Thunder Bay
But I always keep my compass set on you
When the night comes in and the stars come out
And the highway lines start to wear me out
It'll be okay 'cause I'm coming back home to you
Distant salutations and silly souvenirs
Can't help your twilight loneliness
Or brush away your tears
I'll wire you some love today
There's so much more I want to say
But I'm Western Union desperate
In a payphone in the rain
And it's so insane
I'm going your Verlaine
So hey California here I come
I got my old backpack and a sunburned thumb
Hope my compass is straight and true
'Cause when I need a friend it's still you
Yeah it's you
I know it's you
