Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He watched the Bronco leave the driveway
The day after he turned 10
His dad said, "The band's booked up through Sunday"
Ricky never saw him again
[Verse 2]
His mother made excuses
His brother got his wish
Ricky just stared at the posters in his bedroom
And started talking to his fish
[Verse 3]
And whenever he finally could untie these knots
He didn't get too far
[Verse 4]
The stronger the telescope
The more stars there are
[Verse 5]
There were reports within the family
There were rumors at his school
Deadbeat dad got stuck in Calgary
Cleaning swimming pools
[Verse 6]
But Ricky had some questions
He couldn't get it through his head
How a father so drunk on his own destiny
Could end up like this instead
[Verse 7]
The boy could feel himself get older
With each shot in the dark
[Verse 8]
The stronger the telescope
The more stars there are
The stronger the telescope
The more stars there are
[Verse 9]
Now Ricky's in a trailer outside Albany
And he spends all his nights alone
With a penchant for conspiracy
And his take on methadone
[Verse 10]
But he hasn't been forgotten
His hometown speculates
If the world had just got to him too early
Or if it got to him too late
[Verse 11]
And the more time they give each explanation
The more it comes apart
[Verse 12]
The stronger the telescope
The more stars there are
The stronger the telescope
The more stars there are
[Verse 13]
The more stars there are
The more stars there are
