[Live Performance @ Hot August Night III - The Greek Theatre - Los Angeles, CA - August 24th, 2012] br br Lyrics: br br L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time br And the feeling is "lay back" br Palm trees grow and rents are low br But you know I keep thinkin' about br Making my way back br Well I'm New York City born and raised br But nowadays br I'm lost between two shores br L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home br New York's home br But it ain't mine no more br "I am"... I said br To no one there br And no one heard at all br Not even the chair br "I am"... I cried br "I am"... said I br And I am lost and I can't br Even say why br Leavin' me lonely still br Did you ever read about a frog br Who dreamed of bein' a king br And then became one br Well except for the names br And a few other changes br If you talk about me br The story is the same one br But I got an emptiness deep inside br And I've tried br But it won't let me go br And I'm not a man who likes to swear br But I never cared br For the sound of being alone br "I am"... I said br To no one there br And no one heard at all br Not even the chair br "I am"... I cried br "I am"... said I br And I am lost and I can't br Even say why br "I am"... I said br "I am"... I cried br "I am" br Songwriter(s): Diamond, Neil. br I Am...
