Deposition

from Swear I'm Gonna Change by Lindera

lyrics

on the outskirts on the west end of town
pulling in to a driveway a long time gone
and the scenery
thinking about how great it is to be home again

been waiting a long time
to finally get back to the bed that i’ve been sleeping in for twenty years think about how nice it’ll be to have
a hot shower and a hot meal any time i wish

there’s part of me that will always wonder
if carrying on was a bad choice
but i’m glad i didn’t make it
i’m glad i stuck with my guts
maybe some day i’ll hit the road again and i’ll think about
all these times and these memories and friends that i’ve made
maybe it’s better if i left or it’s better if i stayed

back to the old grind again
black shoes black shirt black pants and an apron
stand over an espresso machine for eight hours at a time
and dream about the road

but it’s better if i stick around and think
about the other options instead of choosing what comes easily
and maybe someday i’ll hop in my car and drive back down
and try again you can always try again
don’t let anybody tell you it’s the end of the road
the road never ends unless life says you have to
in this instance i’m the one who said when

it’s a great thing

it’s empowering
to know i could make that call
i’ll drop anything at any time and go
no direction home no place to be
just a long stretch of indiana highway
maybe stop at a rest stop or two
maybe there won’t be a shower

maybe no one cries when i’m gone
maybe no one returns
no wonders when i’ll when i’ll return
i’ll never see winter again

and that the war stories
watching things go down
maybe i’ll never turn around
