Song for A Friend

The broken telephone pole looks kinda like a cross

And the pilate is speaking at the basketball court

I walked you down to your rez car

Smelling of cheap food and open containers.

This is how and where I remember you

In a town where the seasons never change.

Where the HOA keeps the lawns green but

There's always blood on the tracks

I guess that's as good a reason as any to go mad

To drive your family up the wall and your friends down the street

At 90 an hour putting salt in your wounds.

While I sat shotgun almost content

This is how and where I remember you

Well I loved you and hated You and spat on your grave

After your film reel ended without a resolution.

And I walked home alone without anyone to carry

Well I left the town and life we never liked

The place you said we could never escape

Well a new place and a new town really do change you

The grass isn't greener but the air is quite clean

Without the rotten bastard worthy of my memory

This is how and where I remember you.
