She drove him south to escape The “man” who was trying to lock him up in Philly They stopped in Georgia, then headed west To finally settle down it east Texas And there they stayed There she laid Lost in his gaze, believing He would stay with me For years they traveled, separate roads She had a kid and he joined a mission I’m told He married Jesus She, a rich man’s son It felt like the jail that they had escaped from But there they stayed There she laid Lost in his gaze and wondering... Where was he without me? Where was he without me? But there they stayed There she laid There he prayed wondering... Where was she without me? Still I think about what could have been Every couple of years it’s you but I let the phone ring What could have happened in the right place at the right time Too scared, so scared, this idea of our love would die So there they stayed There she laid There he prayed Wondering.... Yes, there they stayed There she laid There he prayed All their lives wondering....

Sitting in the sun Sitting in the sunshine Sitting in the sunshine down in The Keys Where life’s a breeze Where all is fine In the sun shine, in the sun shine, in the sun shine Would you like a coffee from the corner store Where the Cuban man makes it just perfect? How ‘bout a lemon toddy now it’s quarter to four What a day it’s been I deserve it She said Would you like a coffee from the corner store Where the Cuban man makes it just perfect? How ‘bout a lemon toddy now it’s quarter to four What a day it's been I deserve it Yeehaw! Been pruning my palm trees have worked up a sweat. He left me the house in our settlement He left me for another a woman quite younger That tramp in his office, his office temp So, Would you like a coffee from the corner store Where the Cuban man makes it just perfect? How ‘bout a lemon toddy now it’s quarter to four What a day it’s been I deserve it She said Would you like a coffee from the corner store Where the Cuban man makes it just perfect?

Can I just stay in the confines Of these four walls for a couple of days? Can I just stay in this room To get my head straight? I look outside and I see them all fly by The chaos of the world, the other side But inside this room, it’s quiet and cool And I am safe But I know I can’t stay I can’t afford to pay I can’t afford the view or to eat in the café But I’ll take a moment or two to sit ‘Til my time runs out ‘Til I gotta check out and face the world again I’ll just take a moment or two to sit Sit and write it all down Drink that individually packaged coffee and Not make a sound Back to the world of trickery and deceit But of love and beautiful things That make the balance complete Take a moment or two to sit Sit and write it all down Clear my conscience Buckle down Set my pace Breathe deep Here’s to another day Overlooking the sky in the big city where the smog looms But through it all, I see the sun I see the clouds I see a reflection of me

All her life has been a whirlwind Daddy’s been her lover and her best friend I’m her only son and she’s the most fun when she’s here with me She wears polka dots and cowboy hats Clicks her heels and talks real fast Says silly things and eats tofu chicken wings She’s gettin’ on the train to the moon, Daddy Hope we’ll see her soon, Daddy But she’s gone one way on this sunny Tuesday mornin’ We stand and wave her goodbye Waiting for that train to fly But it’s on its way Come play with me, Daddy As we eat organic turkey franks She says always give praise and thanks To the mighty mountains, the little bitty ants The oceans and the trees Love your neighbors, love your daddy Be nice to Aunt Nell and never be bratty And worship whatever god you please She’s gettin’ on the train to the moon, Daddy Hope we’ll see her soon, Daddy But she’s gone one way on this sunny Tuesday mornin’ We stand and wave her goodbye Waiting for that train to fly But it’s on its way Come play with me, Daddy He’s my daddy My loving daddy Always there for me Don’t leave me, Daddy Stay with me, Daddy Always be here with me There came a day when she never came back I’m a big boy now, realize my mom’s a little wack And to this day, I don’t know what she do Rock star, porn star, circus clown, Bullfighter, comic stripper, who’d boogie down Maybe an astronaut on that train to the moon How cool! She’s gettin’ on the train to the moon, Daddy Hope we’ll see her soon, Daddy But she’s gone one way on this sunny Tuesday mornin’ We stand and wave her goodbye Waiting for that train to fly But it’s on its way Come play with me, Daddy It’s on its way Come play with me, Daddy

We sat in the corner booth, as we always do At that all night coffee shop on that all-night avenue The middle of the night She spoke of her mother It was in the middle of the night I can’t remember the sound of her voice, she cried I can’t remember how she said my name “My baby, Christine My baby, Christine” It’s sad, you know But the letting go isn’t about forgetting me It’s about setting yourself free We’d see those boys play that rock and roll Drink our red wine, out of control And when the night closed, it was our time To talk about dreams, those things and our quiet screams The middle of the night She spoke of her mother It was in the middle of the night When they took her away The middle of the night We spoke of our mothers It was in the middle of the night When we learned what to say It’s sad, you know But the letting go isn’t about forgetting me It’s about setting yourself Setting your soul Setting you mind Setting yourself Setting your soul Setting your mind Setting yourself Setting your soul Setting your mind Setting your life free Set yourself free.... I found her voice I heard her voice I found her voice I found my voice We sat in the corner booth, as we always do We used to sit in that corner booth In the middle of the night In the middle of the night

Moving All signs pointed north Last night, I got caught in a Georgia rainstorm Cold front moved in In the morning, the sun came out again It’s a beautiful day It’s a perfect day But I know where I’ve got to go And I see the path in front of me And it all makes sense when you’re about to leave And you wonder why it took so long to realize Driving All roads headed home I keep dialing, wanting him to pick up the phone And tell those stories that used to go on and on and on and on But his words are short ‘Cause his mind is hurt So I know where I’ve got to go And I see the path under my feet And it all makes sense when you’re about to leave And you wonder why it took so damn long to realize The babies in the morning Tyanna is still yawning My daddy is sleeping in again My baby sister awakes to go to work again So I know where I want to go And I see the path in front of me And I owe so much to my family And I wonder why it took me so damn long to realize La la la la la la La la la la la la Is home

When I was growin’ up, I couldn’t wait to leave the town where I came from But now I know better I’ve learned to appreciate and embrace where I came from I began to realize and recognize it takes special people to make a town a town I began to take notice that this town wouldn’t be here without them Without the volunteer firemen The boys I drank with in the woods in high school. Who are now cops busting kids in high school Kids who think they know it all I used to think that too New Jersey!

I thought I’d go up Poughkeepsie Look out o’er the Hudson And I’d throw my body to the river I’d know no more sorrow I’d fly like the sparrow And I’d ride on the backs of the angels tonight I’d ride on the backs of the angels tonight I’d take to the skies with all of my might No more drowning in my sorrow No more drowning in my fright I’ll just ride on the backs of the angels tonight There are those who know sorrow And those who must borrow And there are those whose lot in life is sweet While I’m drunk on self pity Scorned all that’s been given me I would drink from a bottle labeled sure defeat I’d ride on the backs of the angels tonight I’d take to the skies with all of my might No more drowning in my sorrow No more drowning in my fright I’ll just ride on the backs of the angels tonight Then the skies, they fell open And my eyes were open To a world of hope, falling at my feet Now I have no more or less than anyone else has What I have, is a gift of life I can’t replace So I’ll go up Poughkeepsie Look out o’er the Hudson And I’ll throw my worries to the river Now I still, I still know sorrow But I can fly like the sparrow and I’ll ride on the backs of the angels Each night
