Friends Out There

a few more hours before I go
I'll stay here where it's warm inside
a cold rain falls from the jersey air
maybe go and see those friends out there

the miles fall away in this room
it's got a funny smell from the last people here
you never know what goes on in these rooms
people do just about anything when the doors are closed

what did I do to deserve this?
what did I do, what did I say?
what did I do to deserve all this
love coming from you?

we try to hang on to some sense of home
we try to find it everywhere we go
you take the pictures of the ones you love
and you fill the room with them

had to pull over to the side of the road
heard your voice talkin'on the radio
I felt so sad to be goin' down the road
would have liked to have had coffee with you or
something like that

what did I do to deserve this?
what did I do, what did I say?
what did I do to deserve all this
love coming from you?

yes I'll drink from that cup
all the bitter and the sweet
people open their doors to me
give me a little time
I'll give you what you need

you asked me how I came here
people don't always want to hear the truth
I'll give you a little of that
and keep the rest somewhere near

what did I do to deserve this?
what did I do, what did I say?
what did I do to deserve all this
love coming from you?
