Let Me Back In

Let it be printed  let it be known
I'm leaving you  I'm going home
And all you can do is just watch me go
I've put you down  talked you up
Defended your honor and then packed it in and picked it up
When all you can do is just watch me go
From the Eastern Seaboard  landlocked Midwest
The Keys  the Alps  the Black Hills and Budapest
With my heart in a sling  tail between my legs a'swinging
I'm sorry for leaving
But when the palm trees bow their heads
No matter how wrong I've been
L A   you always let me back in
And you can bury me when my body breaks
In the earth that created me in the Golden State
By my mama and her brother and their mama  too
Because I had a dream I was carried on backs of a thousand green birds
And they carried me to a place without words
And there was nothing but there was everything
And it sounded like this:
But when the palm trees bow their heads
No matter how cruel I've been
L A   you always let me back in
And when the palm trees bow their heads
No matter how cruel I've been
L A   you always let me back in  in
Oh  back in  in
Oh  back in  in
