Felt a little uneasy on easy streetnOut of place and incomplete call it guiltnCall it what you willnKissed good-bye the summer skynHollywood and Malibu tidesnThrough thick and thin you got anGood friend in menJust give me a beer and give me a bednChase the demons out of my headnPlay me a song and sing me to sleepnAnd meet me in the middle of my dreamsnnWell I've seen the sun rise from the cliffs at Point ReyesnAnd I've see it set upon Thunder BaynBut I always keep my compass set on younnWhen the night comes in and the stars come outnThe highway lines start to wear me outnIt'll be ok cause I'm coming back home to younnAnd distant salutations and silly souvenirsnCan't help your twilight lonelinessnOr brush away your tearsnI'll wire you some love todaynThere's so much more I want to saynnBut I'm Western Union desperatenIn a pay phone in the rainnAnd it's so insanenI'm Rimbaud and you're VerlainennSo hey! California here I comenI got my old backpack and a sunburnt thumbnI hope my compass is tried and turen'Cause when I need a friend it's still youn
