Sometimes I walk and wish L.A.
Were some small town in Monteray
I close my eyes and ask the gods
To make those cadillacs
Some 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?
And life won't 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's food
I've got a bed
And there's a roof above 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
