I'm standing at the crossroads in life And I don't know where to go You know you've got my heart, babe But my music's got my soul Let me play it one more time I'll tell the truth and make it rhyme And hope they understand me Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep If I die before I wake Feed Jake He's been a good dog My best friend right through it all If I die before I wake Feed Jake Now Broadway's like a sewer Bums and hookers everywhere Wino's passed out on the sidewalk Doesn't anybody care? Some say "He's worthless, just let him be" I for one, would have to disagree And so would their mamas Now I lay me down to sleep And pray the Lord my soul to keep If I die before I wake Feed Jake He's been a good dog My best friend right through it all If I die before I wake Feed Jake Now If you get an ear pierced Some will call you gay But if you drive a pickup They'll say "No, you must be straight" What we are and what we ain't What we can and what we can't Does it really matter? Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep If I die before I wake Feed Jake He's been a good dog My best friend right through it all If I die before I wake Feed Jake If I die before I wake Feed Jake If I die before I wake Feed Jake
