well the palm trees grow real tall down south california   and i'll ride my bike real fast or slow   i gotta warn ya      and i don't know if i can answer all those letters   and i don't know if i'll get out of here and get better      and i don't know if i'll be coming home   and i don't know if i'll be coming home soon      well they feed you twice a day 'round here   i gotta tell ya   and if you got no insurance, well hell,   they'll find a way to bill ya      they give me focus groups that i can't seem to follow   the beds here are so hard, at least i have a pillow      and i don't know if i'll be coming home   and i don't know if i'll be coming home soon      count the days 'til you arrive   pick me up in your old ride   we could sit there side by side   side by side by side by side      well it's a head check here and then a gut check there   and then a shockwave   and i can wear the same clothes everyday   i never have to shave      they say if i take these   then maybe i won't feel old   i got so good just staring out this lonely window      and i don't know if i'll be coming home   and i don't know if i'll be coming home soon
