I know I can't hide this fear inside
 Still my friends understand
 Things have worked out
 Much as you had said
 
 Ain't no mystery what I need
 Is understanding
 And your sweet sympathy
 A steel string guitar and a little weed
 And someone to keep me company
 Someone to keep me company
 
 Down the alley and
 Through the stage door
 Sometimes I wonder
 What I
 What I do it for
