F D F I crossed the highways like I did as a child Bm Am G F On my way to the movies, I pet cats and smile F D F I walk the back alleys, their John Steinback calm Bm Am G F Fake trees, lemon trees, tall shady palms Em D Am Big empty churches, old antique stores Em D Am Peeling Victorians that used to house whores Em D Am I take the back streets back to my digs Em D Am And look up at skies like I did as a kid F D F My bedroom window, I’d look out and dream Bm Am G F Of a life close to what I’m living F D F A traveling singer who plays good guitar Bm Am G F At outdoor festivals, theaters and bars Em D Am And I got a nice girl, she’s beautiful too Em D Am We’re destined to be this, I know to be true Em D Am Sure there were others, but nothing this nice Em D Am She set the bait and I took the bite Em F G Am The streets of Martinez, I love them so Em F G Am I walk around thinking the sun’s always low Em F G Am The cats of Martinez, I love them so Em F G Am I feed them at night, they run off and go Em F G Am Four kitty cats, gave them their names Em F G Am Monster Fluff, Half Fluff, No Fluff and Sammy Em F G Am They’re the highlights of my songwriting days Em F G Am They’re happy to see me, we sit and we play F D F These are some words I wrote down last night Bm Am G F I’ve beat ‘em to death and I can’t get ‘em right F D F Songwriting’s lonely, songwriting hurts Bm Am G F A relentless itch and bed bug curse Em D Am Songwriting costs, it doesn’t come free Em D Am Ask Eliot Smith, ask Richie Lee Em D Am Ask Mark Linkous, ask Shannon Hoon Em D Am To get up on stage and sing you a tune F D F This business is troubling, a big nagging cyst Bm Am G F You get on this plane and I’ll sit at your desk F D F And I’ll leave at eight and be home by five Bm Am G F Call me from Warsaw if you have time Em D Am Ever wonder why there aren’t more Em D Am Than ten songs on most albums, cause it’s a chore Em D Am To write half a dozen, some guys lay back Em D And rest on their laurels Am Like lazy old hacks Em F Well I wrote this one G Am And I know it ain’t great Em F We’ll probably sequence it G Am Track number eight Em F And pick up some water at 7-11 G Am On my way to the mastering session Em F G Am The streets of Martinez, I love them so Em F G Am I walk out the door and the sun always flows Em F G Am The cats of Martinez, I love them so Em F G Am They help me forget my songwriting woes
