Dreamsicle

I guess we're leaving town again We're moving out and moving in Gotta break the news to all my friends But they won't care They'll just find another face To fall behind, to take my place And run way out past second base And just stand there A dreamsicle on a summer night In a folding lawn chair Witches ring around the moon Better get home soon Poison oak and poison ivy Dirty jokes that blew right by me Mama curling up beside me Crying to herself Why can't daddy just come home? Forget whatever he did wrong He's in a hotel all alone And we need help A dreamsicle on a summer night In a folding lawn chair I'm still packing up my room Gotta get home soon New sneakers on a high school court And you swore you'd be there My heart breaking through the springtime Breaking in June Broken glass and broken vows I'll be 18 four years from now With different friends in a different town I'll finally be free Call you both some holiday Tell you why I moved away Say, "Everything's gonna be okay You can come see me" A dreamsicle on a summer night In a folding lawn chair Daddy's howling at the moon Better get home soon Heat lightning in the evening sky And my mama's red hair Hearts breaking through the springtime Breaking in June Breaking in June Breaking in June
