He's got a fool hearted memory That won't let him see That she walked out the door He sits patiently Here every night so it can fool him more Nickels and dimes Memories and wines She's on his mind once again The same old stool

Anytime she goes away Ain't no sunshine when she's gone I know, I know, I know, I know, I know And this house just ain't no home It's not warm when she's away And she's always gone too long Wonder this time where she's gone Wonder if she's gone to stay

It ain't yours to throw away Diamonds come rolling out What if you're just a vessel And God gave you something special Every time you open up your mouth That same road that brought you here Will sure as hell take you home The life you left behind will

That's where I come from Back where I come from Where I'll be when it's said and done And I'm proud as anyone Well, in the town where I was raised The clock ticks and the cattle graze Time passed with amazing grace You can lie on a riverbank Or paint

Christ I'm a sidewinder I swear it's everywhere It's everything I'm a California King Deep inside of a parallel universe It's getting harder and harder To tell what came first Under water where thoughts can breathe Easily Far away you were made in a sea

They have got me hanging upside down again Once more 'round the sun we go again I'm a man and that's who I am And I'll tell you that to your face I'm from the clouds and I shine like the moon And I'm here to fuck up the place Make it last, make it count
