Lyrics
Down deep inside of me,
My dream is that I’d like to be
On the way back to where I came from
But all of the fright in me,
Makin’ things so hard to see
It’s seemin’ like I’m aleays on the run
So oh can you tell me,
where a friend might find a home?
Can you brighten up my day?
Please can you tell me,
where a friend might find a home?
I need a place where I can stay
I need a chance to settle down today
So many signs around, leading to another town
Another place that I can give a try
The sunlight is burnin’ down,
It’s hot enough to make you drown
And the water I’ve been savin’s almost dry
So oh can you tell me,
where a friend might find a home?
Can you brighten up my day?
Please can you tell me,
where a friend might find a home?
I need a place where I can stay
I need a chance to settle down today
Well I feel like runnin’, runnin’ away
And I feel like hidin’, hidin’ away
Ooh, ooh
So oh can you tell me,
where a friend might find a home?
Can you brighten up my day?
Please can you tell me,
where a friend might find a home?
I need a place where I can stay
I need a chance to settle down today

Trivia
If you haven’t guessed by now, I am a huge fan of Stephen Stills. I loved his finger-picking style. It seems that many of my songs, including “Oh Can You Tell Me”, were about searching for a home. I think this probably had a lot to do with me leaving my home and family at the age of 15. Growing up in Ohio was much different than growing up in LA, like my twin sons have done. I had so much family that I grew up with in Ohio, and once I was away from all that, even though I loved being in LA, there was always this longing for being home.
