Driving through Renovo

On the west branch of the Susquehanna

Heading out towards Indiana before I duck back south to Louisiana

Now I haven't seen the leaves change

In seven years or more

Watch em falling from the ashes and

Falling from the elms

To cover up the forest as they Turn

Slowly to soil

Like the dinosaurs turned to oil

And natural gas for the men to frack

Can't you hear that bedrock crack

On the Allegheny plateau

See those flames fly in the distance

Coming up from deep wells

I remember the stories your daddy would tell

Bout how they'd go down to the river

And come hope soaking wet

Mom'ld say ya can't come inside yet

Better dry off before the sun does set

Cause it'll turn

A little bit chilly

Though the twilight lasts forever

Watch the sun and hilltop fall together

Let's stop into a diner

Get some ham and eggs and hash browns

Each place will have the same exact menu from Stroudsburg all the way to Youngstown

I'll bet there's peace in learning to be happy as a has been

I was looking at the calendar in six days I'll be home In New Orleans to Turn

Another year older

Sunshine on my shoulders,

I'll bet I'll feel better when the nights are getting colder
