Monday caught me early Comin' down by surprise Waiting for a signal light to change Breathing something bitter That was burnin' my eyes Thinkin' I'd go drink myself Back home on the range Shot down and sinking fast on Sunset Strip Holding on to something in my head Everything gets heavy when you're Losin' your grip Nothin' looks as empty as a motel bed Chorus: Lord, I'm still a stranger In this God-forsaken land Farther from my future and my friends I'm gonna take enough To wake me up and make me one Last one night stand Then take me home to something's Gonna smile at me again Break my connections When I shake me loose Give my old equipment to the band Let my friend the devil Pay the rest of my dues Take me home to something's Gonna smile at me again
