THE LYRICS:
Back
to the New York sky
Route 20 - Route 60’s where I
Ran through the freeze and the heat
Working for the better life I live now
And it’s time to go back to the home
That I used to know
Mom
did the best that she could
Father could have done a lot more
Time costs no money
Forgiveness makes nobody poor
Confronting the demons I created back then
If I don’t do it now then when?
Back
to the NY town
Seedy bars where the college kids drown
Dreams that they say - they probably will not get
They're not jaded enough to joke about it yet
And it's time to go back to the home
That I used to know
Crosswords
and milkshakes
Convenient store afternoon blues
Bingo saved my life
From the drunks and the self-absorbed fools
I'm digging up coffins that I buried back then
If I don't do it now then when?
