Go It Alone

I'm comin over

See me down at the station

By the lane

With my hands in my pocket

Jingling a wish coin

That I stole from a fountain

That was drowning all the cares in the world

When I get older

Climbin up on the back porch fence

Just to see the dogs runnin

With a ring and a question

And my shiverin voice is singing

Thru a crack in the window

I better go it alone

Down on the corner

See me standin

On a makeshift road

With the dust storm blowin

In a long black shadow

Pull a hammer from a coal mine

Down where your daddy was workin

Comb my hair back

Strike a match on a bathroom wall

Where my number was written

Drivin on the sidewalk

Lookin back and the sky is burning

In my rearview mirror

I better go it alone
