David Crosby

somebody else’s town

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 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 have been here before
I am no freakin? kid
in his first taste of war
with the 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
