Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Almost home when I missed the bottom stair
You were braidin' your gray hair
It had grown so long
Since I'd been gone
[Verse 2]
And the perfect girls by the pool, they would protest
The cross around their necks, but our sons were overseas
And we all know 'bout the hive and the honeybees
[Verse 3]
Almost home with an olive branch and a dove
You were beatin' on a Persian rug
With your Bible and your wedding band
Both hidden on the TV stand
[Verse 4]
When a cruel wind blew every city farther fell
Off the county carousel while the dogs were eatin' snow
All our sons had sunk in a trunk of Noah's clothes
[Verse 5]
Almost home and got lost on our new street
While your grievin' girls all died in their sleep
So the dogs all went unfed
A great dream of bones all piled on the bed
[Verse 6]
And the cops couldn't care when that crackhead built a boat
And said please before I go, may our only honored bond
Be the kinship of the kids in the riot squad
