I felt a little uneasy on easy street Out of place and incomplete Call it guilt call it what you will Kissed goodbye the summer skies Hollywood and malibu tides Through thick and thin you got a good friend in me Just give me a beer and give me a bed Chase the demons out of my head Play me a song and sing me to sleep And meet me in the middle of my dreams Well i've seen the sun rise from the cliffs of point reyes And i've seen it set on thunder bay But i always keep my compass set on you When the night comes in and the stars come out And the highway lines start to wear me out It'll be ok cause i'm coming back home to you Distant salutation and silly souveniers Can't help your twilight loneliness or brush away your tears I'll wire you some love today There's so much more i want to say I'm western union desperate in a payphone in the rain And it's so insane... i'm rimbaud and you're verlaine So hey, california here i come I've got a backpack and a sunburnt thumb I hope my compass is tried and true Cause when i need a friend it's still you...
