From the recording Rescue Me

Lyrics
It’s another lonesome night underneath these western
skies
Driving down old highway 99
Wish I could get you off my mind no matter how hard I
try but you’re the one
California dreamin’ tonight, Joshua Trees and neon
signs
I’m out here in the desert feeling high
I start to think of you and all the things I put you
through and I start to wonder why
Well now how long must I try until you realize
That you mean the world to me
You’re my angel
My everything
I’m down on my knees
And I’m begging darlin’ please
Another mile marker down
A friendly face, another town
Another chance I’ll sing my song to you
And I’ll dream of you tonight under those western skies
And I hope you’ll dream of me, yeah, too
Yeah, but here I go again
Broken hearted my friend
I’ll belly up and have a couple rounds
With every drink that I take your memory fades away
It’s the only thing I know to do
Well how long must I try until you realize
That you mean the world to me
You’re my angel
My everything
I’m down on my knees
And I’m begging darlin’
There were times I lost my faith and I lost sight
Of everything that was so dear to me
Went down a hole
My self-destruction took control
And I found myself alone in misery
Yes, I could find another lover
That’s true
But somehow she’d never measure up to you
Yeah, up to you
Ah ah ah yeah right
Yeah, how long must I try until you realize
That you mean the world to me
You’re my angel
My everything
I’m down on my knees
Oh I’m begging darlin’ please
Please please
Well I’m down
On my knees
