There's a town that I live in
I moved there 5 years ago, but it still feels new
And I would never take claim to growing in this land
My birth lies two towns over
But I know that I’m stuck here
Like the cow's head peering through the barbed fence
I drive down roads
That never seem to end
I see broken down sheds falling slightly with every passing moment
The pussy willows blow in the cold winter's breath
A child's Styrofoam airplane follows it's trail
He loses sight in the sun's shine
And it's gone.
Now it's gone.
A father's woman friend
Runs out the door
She's pale and her skin hugs to her bones
Like a son to his mother
This man wonders if he's gone too far
I can see in his eyes a tiny planet exploding
And then he collapses to the ground
I wonder if I should cry
I wonder if I should help
But I’m almost up towards my driveway
And I really want to go home.
