lyrics

Spend my money on cigarettes when there's nothin' good to eat
On a dreary night alone on 2nd St
Girls in this town talk politics, even when you get 'em drunk
I play along and keep the talkin' up
"You know, the biggest dick in Washington in 55 stories tall.
It's on some grass but they calls it a mall."
Yeah, I can get 'em laughin' about an hour or two,
But most nights end up thinkin' of you

And you might think I'm lonely cause I'm on my own
You might think I'm changed 'cause I'm no one you know
I go to the parties and rock and roll shows
I don't need a friend - I need somewhere to go

July came with the heatwave and on the 4th it broke our hearts
The sun beat down on my apartment in the city
Grandma called, just checkin' in said,
"I hope you visit soon - Virginia just ain't been the same without you.
"And storms flooded out the holler last night and today,
The lord himself has washed it all away.
Sheep and cattle died runnin' for their lives
As you hailed a cab to go see the lights."

Well you might think I'm lonely cause I'm on my own
You might think I'm changed 'cause I'm no one you know
I go to the parties and rock and roll shows
I don't need a friend - I need somewhere to go

I don't need a friend 'til the bars are all closed
It's the 4th of July when this whole town explodes

The sky erupts in color though it's tempered by the smog
In the park by my apartment in the city.
