240225: Dead End Town

from Leap Songs, Part 4 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

I was born inside this house
Lived here all my life
And I never gave much thought
To what's outside

Until the bottle took my father
And the rifle took his wife
Filled the tank of their old wagon
Time to take a ride

Only one road in
And the same road out
Someone save my soul
From this dead end town

Every place may have its problems
Its share of broken people
This one's better in my rearview
Along with all its secrets

No I don't have a map
I don't think I'll need one
Just get me far away
From the sight of all my demons
