Lyrics

you reaped what you'd sewn
drove all night in spite of it all
the smell of exhaust
and cracks in the pavement guiding you home

but where are you now?
sleeping in parking lots
somewhere in some other town
swindling all of your possessions

in lieu of your father
peaking on warm busch light in august
sifting through the couch
trying to count some kind of blessing
there was something in the sound
of the rain that night in memphis

the sound of the cars
ashed out the window under the stars
you pawned your guitar
half-written love songs scrawled on the wall

cause where was he now?
strung on paradise somewhere in
some other town
you never doubted for a second

in lieu of your mother
lying in bed since last thanksgiving
she let her days drift by
into nights in slow succession

where are you now?
where are we now?
where are you now?
where are they now?
