Somebody Else's Town
(David Crosby, Jeff Pevar and James Raymond
[Intro. (Drums and Electric Guitar)]
Blood is thicker than water
Friendship's stronger than fear
Love is God's favorite daughter
It's perfectly clear
I can see it tonight
In the comet's faint light
As my heels hit the pavement wet from the light
Rain that's coming whispering down
On somebody else's town
A broken down diner with three people in it
Pulls my attention for half a minute
I think about tryin' to talk to explain
Why I'm takin' this walk
Why a simple motel room
Can be some kind of hell room
It's making me get up and stalk this way
Cause I don't want to say that I'm down
In somebody else's town
I am stronger than this
I've been here before
I am no fucking kid
In his first taste of war
With loneliness drifting around
Here in somebody else's town
Music spills out into the street
Must be someone in there I could meet
But I think I will telephone home
Hear that soft sleepy voice on the phone
Keep them awake by the sound of my talking
Tell the truths I found out walkin'
In somebody else's town
[Instrumental (Electric Guitars)]
