junkies and jokers in the alley way
girls paid to smile and the men who play
they say home is where you lay your head
but i don’t sleep much lately
just look what they did to that beautiful girl from new york city
she said she moved down here to get some sun
she collects the wilted flowers from the church steps on sunday
she does not know my name
you know i used to know this girl from northern california
she had a fear of love and she knew how to run
and tonight i'm going to go home alone and i will not call you
and i will not sleep 'til you're out of my head
so morning comes and you're still there
but now i'm six days from sunday
california bound in a house with wheels
and a half bottle of bourbon
