[Verse 1]
I felt a little uneasy on easy street
Out of place and incomplete call it guilt
Call it what you will
Kissed good-bye the summer sky
Hollywood and Malibu tides
Through thick and thin you got a
Good friend in me

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Well I’ve seen the sun rise from the cliffs at Point Reyes
And I’ve see it set upon 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

[Bridge]
Distant salutations and silly souvenirs
Can’t help your twilight loneliness
So brush away your tears
I’ll wire you some love today
There’s so much more I want to say
But I’m Western Union desperate
In a pay phone in the rain
And it’s so insane
I’m Rimbaud and you’re Verlaine
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
So hey, California here I come
I got my old backpack and a sunburnt thumb
Hope my compass is tried and true
'Cause when I need a friend it’s still you
Yeah, it's you
I know it's you
