Be Here Now - Ray LaMontagne

Wash your face in the morning sun Flash your pen at the song that I'm singing Touchdown base living on the run Make no sweat at the hole that you're digging Wrap up cold when it's warm outside Your shit jokes remind me of Digsy's Be my magic carpet ride Fly me down to capital city in the sun Kicking up a storm From the day that I was born Sing a song for me One from 'Let It Be' Open up your eyes get a grip on yourself inside

Oh mama don't walk away I'm a goddamn sore loser I ain't too proud to say That I'm still thinking 'bout you And I'm so lonesome without you And I can't get you out of my mind Oh mama don't leave me alone With my soul shut down so tight Just like a stone cold tomb Ain't it clear when I'm near you I'm just dying to hear you Calling my name one more time Oh so don't pay no mind To my watering eyes Must be something in the air That I'm breathing Yes and try to ignore All this blood on the floor It's just this heart on my sleeve that's bleeding Oh mama don't walk away You leave me here bereaving From the words so hard and plain Saying the love that we had Was just selfish and sad Yes but to see you now with him Is just making me mad Oh so kiss him again Just to prove to me that you can I will stand here And burn in my skin Yes I will stand here And burn in my skin

I've been a Savior, a Sideman, a Stranger Stung by anger, burned by law Feel so Scattered, like nothing really matters anymore, Put that sign out, on my front door Hitching a ride on the PCH I got some things I need to say Calling out a friend of mine I don't know where the years have gone, Just know I'm worse for hanging on Maybe it'd be best if I just let things lie Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai I knew a good man, he was a break in the Clouds, Hanging so low down It's got me to thinking, it's not like he gave in, He just never got that second win Hitching a ride on the PCH I got some things I need to say Calling out a friend of mine I don't know where the years have gone, Just know I'm worse for hanging on Maybe it'd be best if I just let things lie Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai Ojai-Ojai I've been a Savior, a Sideman, a Stranger Son, hedge your wager, cause life ain't fair I been shaken, sorely mistaken, this path I've taken Ain't going nowhere Hitching a ride on the PCH I got some things I need to say Calling out a friend of mine I don't know where the years have gone, Just know I'm worse for hanging on Maybe it'd be best if I just let things lie Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai
