Checker Drive Revisited

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Outside a home that we didn't even own There's the lawn we tried to mow Rock still propping up the mailbox Missed a lot, so I circle 'round the block The street was free to take a shot I was thankful to be spared There's stripe cat asleep in the driveway Sensing it's probably the same cat I knew then Hoping somehow it saw me Stripe cat is well—the eternal being [Verse 2] I might be prone to wishful thinking The setting keeps me logical A couple namеs, a couple signs gonna change Most evеrything around here Everything around here stays the same [Verse 3] Back on the road to the state where I was grown Forty minutes since the news chopper circled my location Light, but there's stars, Bolliger & Mabillard cars Carve into a heaven to be sent into the backfill yard Spruce the dinge on the buildings And the Bull may quit Raging with peak efficiency Spray some WD-40 You know, paint can turn plywood to Gotham City [Verse 4] It's on my list of stuff to look at Always drive past but rarely go Just another something took for granted Like everything around here Everything around here [Verse 5] You may find me disappearing Well, people come and people go I won't ever be the last man standing Free to leave my post 'Cause even when I'm close I'm far away
