about

For John.

lyrics

Black eyed susans waving don't catch my eye
No greeting half as sweet as the black gold sky, the last time I passed by
One foot in Pennsylvania, the other marking time
What's happened, can't drive past it, we're crossing that old line.

Spent the lead up telling stories
Another round of missed memorials

Insincere tender feeling, that welcome sign
No gas for driving back now
We're crossing that old line

Spent the afternoon in wet dress clothes
Yellow roses where your garden used to grow

Wish I didnt mean when I said that it was sometimes hard to speak
Must've been hard to look past it
So impressed, every small success from the outside sounded such a dream
still can't explain it, my lack of reaction
Didn't believe when you said that we were all just whitewashed tombs
I'd never thought much about it
Not a man, just a grain of sand upon these ever-changing dunes
Gonna have to get by without it

I'm driving hard
Does anybody ever gets used to this?
Digressive mind
Eyes glued to the road
I'm driving hard
Memorial's the only thing I won't miss, but I won't miss it.
Nobody ever gets used to this

She says it's fine, but I can't believe how many times
The letter I has come out of my mouth
And if I die here on the road, my body burns
My ashes blow to the east and slightly south

Over the trees, the changing leaves, late summer breeze
Will carry me until it sets me down
My home below, the gridlocked roads, the yellow roses
Taken root inside familiar ground

Out by your house, down by the tracks we used to walk
Guitars on our backs. I'd call, you'd finally respond
But I'm alive here on the road, my pulse and brake light traffic slow
I should have stayed where I belong
