SMALL TOWN WALTZ

She grew up in a small town
near the interstate
rubber bands and a shoe box
one day she'd escape
raised up on rooftops
watchin' trucks roll on
Six hundred dollars
and her grandpa's watch
saved for leavin' home
leavin' home
leaving home

He was born on the highway
in the back of a chevrolet
cause on the way to the hospital
his momma couldn't wait
It was then where he belonged
so he worked there all his life
Barely got the chance
to raise his kids
or hold his pretty wife
comin' home
coming home

Late in the evening
strangers on the road
the radio is trying to let us know
the way through the darkness
don't feel so alone
one's carried out
one's carried home

Just off an exit
around a curve with a steep decline
laid a car on it's rooftop
they were first to pass by
turned to flames, dialed 911
but it was too damn late
held their heads
tried to save a life
you could hear the angels sing
comin' home
comin home

Late in the evening
strangers on the road
the radio is trying to let us know
way through the darkness
don't feel so alone
one's carried out
one's carried home
