Somebody Else’s Town Lyrics - David Crosby

Somebody Else's Town (5:15) 

Words: David Crosby and Jeff Pevar 

Music: James Raymond 

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 

Photos 

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
