Just Up the Road

Just up the road There are news trucks all lined up Cameras out putting on a circus show For a sad sad fool who shot up a school And now innocent eyes are forever closed Just up the road There are fathers and mothers Picking out Sunday best clothes For their children to be buried in To say goodbye and not one more hello Just up the road All the hurting will heal A peace we will all feel But down here we're all left to believe in hope Until the madness all stops All that we got Is each other to help fix what we've broke Just up the road Are packed churches and bars Trying to drown and lift up lost souls But they're just a day to day temporary band aid Until the day we all make it home Just up the road All the hurting will heal A peace we will all feel But down here we're all left to believe in hope Until the madness all stops All that we got Is each other to help fix what we've broke Just up the road Another sun will rise again So love the ones you're with and hold them close Live a life every day to leave this world a better place For them until we go Just up the road
