City Of Lakes

This pavement feels cold on my face

And my bones have seen better days

Be a friend, pick me up off the ground

Nice and easy, oooh

I got a scar, you can see it from afar

Like cigarette burns on the top of my guitar

If you wish me luck, don't tell me to break a leg

I coulda been walking on a peg

And at the end of the day I will return to the city of lakes

Where the real people roam close to where all the real waves break

I got a girl, she got lots of style

You can see every tooth in her mouth when she smiles

She's prettier than you, and you, and you

Yeah, she's prettier than you

I got a dream, I hope that it comes true

And if it don't, don't know what I'm gonna do

I got a dream, I got a dream

And at the end of the day I will return to the city of lakes

Where the real people roam close to where all the real waves break

I lost a friend in this past year

I miss his guitar playing in my ear

Be a friend, take away all my fears

Nice and easy, nice and easy, nice and easy
