Trying No To Think About It

Southern California is bad for the soul And New York City takes its toll The Mississippi River has a mean undertow How can I shield myself from the things that I hear I want to close my eyes and sleep for a year Tell me that it's only a dream That it's a nightmare Trying not to think about it Trying not to think about it How can your mother be so strong When her only baby is gone I don't know where you are Everything is wrong So I'm trying not to think about it
