| And my father
|
| Got remarried, to a teacher
|
| He’s back on loving
|
| I hear 'em laughing in the mornings
|
| And my mother
|
| Bought a truck, and sold it all
|
| To live in Wyoming
|
| The winter water’s a strange thing
|
| But you will always be a week away
|
| From turning 21
|
| I’ve been working in a warehouse
|
| Filled with books
|
| Boxing the classics
|
| Judging covers by habit
|
| Ride the bus home
|
| Watch the driver change his evening
|
| I see my hunger
|
| On the faces of others
|
| 'Cause you will always be a week away
|
| From turning 21
|
| You will always be a week away
|
| From turning 21
|
| Skate down the street where
|
| Stands the house that I grew up
|
| In the driveway’s a sports car
|
| I will stick to the fresh tar |
