All I recall are the shadows in a long New York fade away Passing time with such matters on a six-hour drive to LA Got some friends in the canyon Got a dirty window pain Got a girl back up in Ida Things have never been the same
She sees no fences She feels no reins
I rolled a couple just to get me there Took a hit Let in some air and thought of you We made a promise by the eyelash moon I told you’d I would be home soon And I aim to please
Stop to grab a cup of coffee Near the LA county line This evening finds me lonely but by daybreak, I’ll be fine It comes and it goes Always knows I’m there
Sometimes a scoundrel Sometimes a thief Sometimes in public Sometimes discreet Sometimes ugly
Sometimes there’s no reason why And sometimes it’s a look in your eye That says I aim to please’
Not everybody’s lucky You know that’s true But not everybody rolls a dice like you Listen to a loser and you might give in Listen to a lonely and you got no friends Listen to a lover if you want some truth Listen to a mother if you want some blues Listen to your heart if you lose your way Try to make some sunshine every day Try to make some sunshine every day
