You or Your Memory

I checked into a bargain-priced room in La Cienega
 Gazed out through the curtains at the parking lot
 Walked down to the corner store just before nightfall in my barefeet
 Black tarry Asphalt soft and hot
 And when I came back I spread out my supplies
 On the counter by the sink looked myself right in the eyes

 And you or your memory

 I ducked behind the drapes when I saw the Moon begin to rise
 Gathered in my loose ends, switched on the lights
 And down there in the dark I could see the real truth about me
 As clear as day, Lord if I make it through tonight
 Then I will mend my ways
 And walk the straight path to the end of my days
