It's been so long out on the roadIt was time to get back homeTo see my kids and hold my wifeTo sit on the porchAnd watch the cars go byThat old green gate was painted whiteThe lock remains crooked to the rightMy dog comes running, not as fastAnd I'm not as strongSo we lay on the grassThe sun is upAnd there is one more shadow to cast nowI gotta believeIt starts at my feetAnd fades onto the front doorWill they be the same?I close my eyes and see the boysThey're fighting againSomething about their toysDoes Mary still spin Smiths and Cure?Does she sleep to her leftAnd leave the TV on?The moon is upI'm weaker than these dragonfliesAs strong as a twigThe silence I hearIs proof I should be gone nowWill they be the same?
