^FI crossed the highways like I ^Ddid as a ^Fchild ^BmOn my way to the ^Ammovies, I ^Gpet cats and ^Fsmile ^FI walk the back alleys, their ^DJohn Steinback ^Fcalm ^BmFake trees, ^Amlemon trees, ^Gtall shady ^Fpalms

^EmBig empty churches, ^Dold antique ^Amstores ^EmPeeling Victorians that ^Dused to house ^Amwhores ^EmI take the back streets ^Dback to my ^Amdigs ^EmAnd look up at skies like I ^Ddid as a ^Amkid

^FMy bedroom window, I’d ^Dlook out and ^Fdream ^BmOf a life ^Amclose to ^Gwhat I’m ^Fliving ^FA traveling singer who ^Dplays good ^Fguitar ^BmAt outdoor ^Amfestivals, ^Gtheaters and ^Fbars

^EmAnd I got a ^Dnice girl, she’s beautiful ^Amtoo ^EmWe’re destined to ^Dbe this, I know to be ^Amtrue ^EmSure there were ^Dothers, but nothing this ^Amnice ^EmShe set the ^Dbait and I took the ^Ambite

^EmThe streets of ^FMartinez, I ^Glove them ^Amso ^EmI walk around ^Fthinking the ^Gsun’s always ^Amlow ^EmThe cats of ^FMartinez, I l^Gove them ^Amso ^EmI feed them at ^Fnight, they ^Grun off and ^Amgo

^EmFour kitty ^Fcats, ^Ggave them their n^Amames ^EmMonster Fluff, ^FHalf Fluff, ^GNo Fluff and ^AmSammy ^EmThey’re the ^Fhighlights of my ^Gsongwriting ^Amdays ^EmThey’re happy to ^Fsee me, we ^Gsit and we ^Amplay

^FThese are some words I ^Dwrote down last ^Fnight ^BmI’ve beat ‘em to ^Amdeath and I ^Gcan’t get ‘em ^Fright ^FSongwriting’s lonely, ^Dsongwriting ^Fhurts ^BmA relentless i^Amtch and ^Gbed bug ^Fcurse

^EmSongwriting ^Dcosts, it doesn’t come ^Amfree ^EmAsk Eliot ^DSmith, ask Richie ^AmLee ^EmAsk Mark Lin^Dkous, ask Shannon ^AmHoon ^EmTo get up on ^Dstage and sing you a tu^Amne

^FThis business is troubling, a ^Dbig nagging ^Fcyst ^BmYou get on this ^Amplane and I’ll s^Git at your ^Fdesk ^FAnd I’ll leave at eight and ^Dbe home by ^Ffive ^BmCall me from ^AmWarsaw if ^Gyou have ^Ftime

^EmEver wonder why ^Dthere aren’t ^Ammore ^EmThan ten songs on most ^Dalbums, cause it’s a ^Amchore ^EmTo write half a dozen, ^Dsome guys lay ^Amback ^EmAnd rest on their l^Daurels

Like lazy old ^Amhacks

^EmWell I wrote ^Fthis one And I ^Gknow it ain’t g^Amreat ^EmWe’ll probably ^Fsequence it T^Grack number ^Ameight ^EmAnd pick up some water at ^F7-11 On my ^Gway to the mastering ^Amsession

^EmThe streets of Mar^Ftinez, I ^Glove them ^Amso ^EmI walk out the ^Fdoor and the ^Gsun always ^Amflows ^EmThe cats of Mar^Ftinez, I ^Glove them ^Amso ^EmThey help me ^Fforget my ^Gsongwriting ^Amwoes
