Lyrics

Driveway

The neighborhood
Is growing thin
Dads move out
And boyfriends move in
And south of town
The apartments fill
With weekend fathers
And tears at will

It’s Saturday
Time to get the kids
Knock, knock
No one’s home
And no one wins
And so it goes
For years it seems
Dads and children
Have bad dreams

The Devil’s come to town
Burned my dinner table to the ground
Forced me outside to watch
And he gives me too much time
Time to wish things went a better way
And he makes me wave goodbye from the driveway

My apartment feels
Like a hotel room
I’m just a visitor
I need to check out soon
My son comes over
But it’s not the same
We try so hard
To make it all okay
We do what we do
We laugh when we can
But when he’s gone
I’m a different man
The darkness comes
I’m all alone
Try not to cry when he’s on the phone

The Devil’s come to town
Burned my dinner table to the ground
Forced me outside to watch
And he gives me too much time
Time to wish things went a better way
And he makes me wave goodbye from the driveway

The Devil’s come to town
Burned my dinner table to the ground
Forced me outside to watch
And he gives me too much time
Time to wish things went a better way
And he makes me wave goodbye from the driveway

The Devil’s come to town
Burned my dinner table to the ground
Forced me outside to watch
And he gives me too much time
Time to wish things went a better way
And he makes me wave goodbye from the driveway

The neighborhood
Has grown so thin
I can see right through
Back to myself again
But I’ve moved on
With my son
Hand in hand
A new day’s begun
