Day Drunk

I got day drunk and watched as my city got younger

On the steps of the ford lofts across from the theatre

Where I was a contender now none of that matters

The kids have new heroes and new dreams to get shattered

I wouldn't change a thing about the way it went down

16 years of memories built on a town

That nobody will know just how a cool kid can drown

In a pool of his own hype and beer

Goodbye

It's the most perfect time and the weather is perfection

To watch as my father battles infection

My life in the dark is now bright as the reflection

The store window he worked '77

Now millions of snapshots will shoot through my brain

Push through the dark like that underground train

Just as real as the blood pumping fast through my veins

Just as real as I'm standing here

Goodbye
