lyrics

You were out there in the wilderness
cutting a new road every day
there's this thing about forgiveness
all the prices you can't pay
I guess I'll just go down to Palmer's
I still like to hear those drink kids singing
but nobody's even drunk yet
and none of them know anything

I think about you when I think about leaving
I think about you when I'm stuck at home
and I don't understand anything anymore
but I'll manage somehow

Me and your mother
we don't talk too much
she does her thing and I do mine
sometimes I find her in the kitchen
sometimes we both lose track of time
the war's not over when they come home
always seems to find a way
but nobody's keeping score
and there's nothing more to say

I think about you when I think about leaving
I think about you when I'm stuck at home
and I don't understand anything anymore
but I'll manage somehow

I think about you when I think about leaving
I think about you when I'm all alone
and I don't understand a goddam thing
but I'll manage somehow
