Western Union Desperate (Acoustic)

[Verse 1]
I felt a little uneasy on easy street
Out of place and incomplete
Call it guilt, call it what you will
Kissed goodbye the summer skies
Hollywood and Malibu tides
Through thick and thin, you got a good friend in me

[Chorus]
Just give me a beer and give me a bed
Give me a pill all for my head
Play me a song and sing me to sleep
Meet me in the middle of my dreams

[Verse 2]
Well, I've seen the sun rise from the cliffs of Point Reyes
And I've seen it set upon Thunder Bay
But I always keep my compass set on you
When the night comes in and the stars come out
And the highway lines start to wear me out
It'll be okay 'cause I'm coming back home to you

[Bridge]
Distant salutations and silly souvenirs
Can't help your twilight loneliness or brush away your tears
I'll wire you some love today
There's so much more I want to say
But I'm Western Union desperate in a payphone in the rain
And it's so insane, I'm Rimbaud and you're Verlaine

[Chorus]
So hey, California, here I come
I've got my old backpack and a sunburnt thumb
I hope my compass is tried and true
'Cause when I need a friend, it's still you
Oh, when I need a friend, it's still you
