All the Way Home

All through the winter Saving the money you'd spend In bed with the TV on Hiding from the rent Warmer days Driving out in your car Holidays Never going too far Two young boys Nine and ten A Catholic school child A public school friend Fields of houses Troubled child Keeping it all inside And the drummers played On a perfect day And the family circled the stone We bowed our heads As the drummers played A song to carry you All the way home Pack your bags Leavin' it all behind And all your years For whatever you could find Open highway Golden land Trade in your cards for another hand Off to nowhere, Running wild Keeping it all inside And the drummers played On a perfect day And the family circled the stone We bowed our heads As the drummers played A song to carry you All the way home
