Monday caught me early comin' down by surprice
Waitin' for the signal light to change
Breathin' somethin' bitter that was burnin' my eyes
Thinkin' I'd go drink myself back home on the range.

Shot down and sinking fast on Sunset Strip
Holdin' onto somethin' in my head
Everything gets heavy when you're losin' your grip
Nothing looks as empty as a motel bed.

Lord I'm still a stranger in this God forsaken land
Further from my future and my friends
I'm gonna take enough to wake me up
And make me on last one night stand.

Then take me home to something's gonna smile at me again
Break my connections when I shake me loose
Give my old equipment to the band
Let my friend the devil pay the rest of my dues.

Take me home to something's gonna smile at me again...
