David Crosby - Somebody Else’s Town lyrics

Your rating:


Somebody Else's Town (5:15)

Words:  David Crosby and Jeff Pevar

Music:  James Raymond



Blood is thicker than water

friendship's stronger than fear

love is God's favorite daughter

it's perfectly clear

I can see it tonight

in the comet's faint light

as my heels hit pavement

wet from the light

rain that's coming whispering down

on somebody else's town



A broken down diner

with three people in it

pulls my attention

for half a minute

I think about tryin' to talk

to explain why I'm takin' this walk



Why a simple motel room

can be some kind of hell room

it's making me get up and stalk this way

cause I don't want to say that 

I'm down in somebody else's town



I am stronger than this 

I have been here before

I am no freakin' kid

in his first taste of war

with the loneliness drifting

around here in

somebody else's town



Music spills out into the street

must be someone in there I could meet

but I think I will telephone home

hear that soft sleepy voice on the phone

keep them awake by the 

sound of my talking

tell the truths I found out

walkin' in

somebody else's town
