A Drive Around My Hometown

The house I was born in,

used to stand right here.

I was just one more hungry child

destined to grow old and die.

Right here in this schoolyard,

I learned life’s valuable lessons.

The more you have,

the more you get,

the more you want.

Here’s the church,

that taught me,

no one cared,

about lost souls.

Only how much,

is in the collection,

plate.

This is the highway,

where I found out,

if I went too far.

I would never,

make it back.

No matter how hard I try
