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 dogsI close my eyes and live
I close my eyes and live another daySometimes 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 allI 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 aloneanother day is done
I lay my eyes to rest
there's food
I've got a bed
and there's a roof above my headsometimes 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 dayI close my eyes and live
I close my eyes and live another day
