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 


              (repeat to end)
