It's a summer, what a color,
Bella's down in the lobby,
playing tug -of -war with her daddy
You should see them smile
For the homesick traveler
I don't unpack my suitcase,
it's barely big enough to
And Doris' box would open up
At the Zypress Inn, tryin' to pretend
That everything's alright,
keep wishing I was home again
I'm picking up pieces in Cypress Hill
Rosie came by late last night
and drink away these vagabond days
and damned if you don't play the game
But the city of roses is a beautiful place
To sing a song under the stars
And me, I'm split in between the two
A longing to succeed or a simple idea
If it wasn't for my wanderlust
But everything's alright,
keep wishing I was home again
I'm picking up the pieces inside myself
I disappear in the shadows
At the Cypress Inn, trying to pretend
That everything's alright,
Keep wishing I was home again
