lyrics

Driving by the hospital where I was born
Out past the factories and the tall sweet corn
My eyes are cloudy and my jeans are torn

So when the night turns black
I’ll take my ball and jacks
And go back home

Walking up the sidewalk to my high school
Blue paint flaking off the abandoned pool
Seems there’s no gold left in the golden rule

The years slip through my hands like wine
Just like a clock with no hands can still keep time
Sometimes I’d like to drive to either coast
And even leave behind the ones I love most

Drinking at the bar at the place where we were wed
The rice they threw like hail all around our heads
Then things we said then are now best left unsaid

Driving by the hospital where I was born
Out past the factories and the tall sweet corn
I’ve got no stories left to adorn

But now it’s getting cold
And I’m too old
To go back home
