OUTRO:
Where’d you hide ..
What’s …

Don’t expect no favors
nothing in return
Tell all your cross-eyed neighbors
that it’s none of their concern

Open the shades Melinda
let in the outside air
I’m deep in doubt and I can’t get out
and it must be dark in there

Chorus 1:
I wanna walk with you in the morning mist
Though I should be home by now
And there must be some way outta this
I was thinking you’d know how
And my judgement may be shaky
And my shoes are soaking through
‘Cause the weeds are wet and I haven’t yet
Made any sense of you

All the midnight angels
Fold their wings by dawn
The same old wild-eyed strangers
Sit and watch em till they’re gone
I let the night unravel
Forget my vain pursuits
‘Cept to feel that gray rock gravel
On your road beneath my boots

Chorus 2:
I wanna walk with you in the changing light
When the shadows twist and play
And the ghosts that kept me out all night
We can chase em all away
And the talk of those that wonder
And the talk of those that curse
Let em have their thrill, they’ll need it
We’ll be no more for the worse

Bridge:
Shine your eyes upon me
whisper long and low
Mindful of the longing
that we ever more may know

Up the ridge on past you
Looking down below
You can see the stacks of Danville
Wwhen the clouds don’t hang so low
Should you take a mind to
Won’t you join me there
Open the shades Melinda
Let in the outside air

Verse:
I’ve had enough of this small town bullst
I’m not stayin’ in school
I’m makin’ good dough workin’ with my brother
Cleanin’ out pools

I’m going out to California
And man it won’t be long
As soon as I get my license
Color me gone

Oh knock it off Johnny
Man, your livin’ in your head
You ain’t even got a car
And those chicks don’t believe a word ya said

Bridge:
But you’re doin’ all the talkin’
So I just keep quiet
And this’ll probably go no where
But I can’t blame ya for tryin’

Chorus:
It’s just us kids hangin’ round the park at night
Hangin’ round ‘neath the vapor light
We got no drugs and we got no guns
Not even botherin’ anyone

Verse:
I don’t have to wear a necktie
I don’t have to punch a clock
I started up a dot com company
And man it rocks

Won’t you come with me down to Mexico
In the winter with some friends
My divorce will be final
Along about then

Meanwhile I got a gram and a real good ride
And don’t you know I hurt way down inside

Chorus:
Just us kids in the parking lot
Out here givin’ it all we got
We don’t want to get old and die
And there ain’t nothing we wouldn’t try

Ya know we could really have it all
Our kid’s gonna graduate next fall
I could take retirement in 10 years
It’s a damn short movie
How’d we ever get here

Chorus:
Just us kids hangin’ out today
Watchin’ our long hair turnin’ gray
Not so skinny maybe not so free
Not so many as we used to be

Repeat Last Chorus 2x:

Capo 5

Intro:
D Cadd9 G 4 times

There’s a Vietnam Vet with a cardboard sign [Cadd9/B]sitting there by the left turn line
Flag on the wheelchair flapping in the breeze, [Cadd9/B]one leg missing and both hands free
No one’s paying much mind to him, the [Cadd9/B]V.A. budget’s just stretched so thin
And there’s more comin’ home from the Mideast war, we [Cadd9/B]can’t make it here anymore

And that big ol’ building was the textile mill, it [Cadd9/B]fed our kids and it paid our bills
But they turned us out and they closed the doors, we [Cadd9/B]can’t make it here anymore

See those pallets piled up on the loading dock, they’re [Cadd9/B]just gonna set there till they rot
‘Cause there’s nothing to ship, nothing to pack, just [Cadd9/B]busted concrete and rusted tracks
Empty storefronts around the square, there’s a [Cadd9/B]needle in the gutter and glass everywhere
You don’t come down here ‘less you’re looking to score, we [Cadd9/B]can’t make it here anymore

The bar’s still open but man it’s slow, the [Cadd9/B]tip jar’s light and the register’s low
The bartender don’t have much to say, the [Cadd9/B]regular crowd gets thinner each day
Some have maxed out all their credit cards, some are [Cadd9/B]working two jobs and living in cars
Minimum wage don’t pay for a roof, don’t [Cadd9/B]pay for a drink, if you gotta have proof
Just try it yourself Mr. CEO See how [Cadd9/B]far 5.15 an hour will go
Take a part time job at one of your stores I bet you [Cadd9/B]can’t make it here anymore

And there’s a high school girl with a bourgeois dream, [Cadd9/B]just like the pictures in the magazine
She found on the floor of the Laundromat, a [Cadd9/B]woman with kids can forget all that
If she comes up pregnant what’ll she do, for[Cadd9/B]get the career, forget about school
Can she live on faith? live on hope, [Cadd9/B]high on Jesus or hooked on dope
When it’s way too late to just say no, you [Cadd9/B]can’t make it here anymore

Now I’m stocking shirts in the Wal-Mart store [Cadd9/B]just like the ones we made before
‘Cept this one came from Singapore, I guess we [Cadd9/B]can’t make it here anymore

Should I hate a people for the shade of their skin or the [Cadd9/B]shape of their eyes or the shape I’m in
Should I hate ‘em for having our jobs today, no I [Cadd9/B]hate the men sent the jobs away
I can see them all now, they haunt my dreams, all [Cadd9/B]lily white and squeaky clean
They’ve never known want, they’ll never know need, their [Cadd9/B]st don’t stink and their kids won’t bleed
Their kids won’t bleed in the damn little war and we [Cadd9/B]can’t make it here anymore

Will work for food, will die for oil, will [Cadd9/B]kill for power and to us the spoils
The billionaires get to pay less tax, the [Cadd9/B]working poor get to fall through the cracks
Let ‘em eat jellybeans, let ‘em eat cake, [Cadd9/B]let ‘em eat st, whatever it takes
They can join the Air Force, or join the Corps if [Cadd9/B]they can’t make it here anymore

And that’s how it is, that’s what we got if the [Cadd9/B]president wants to admit it or not
You can read it in the paper, read it on the wall, [Cadd9/B]hear it on the wind, if you’re listening at all
Get out of that limo, look us in the eye, [Cadd9/B]call us on the cell phone, tell us all why
In Dayton, Ohio or Portland, Maine or a [Cadd9/B]cotton gin out on the great high plains
That’s done closed down along with the school and the [Cadd9/B]hospital and the swimming pool
Dust devils dance in the noonday heat, there’s [Cadd9/B]rats in the alley and trash in the street
Gang graffiti on a boxcar door, we [Cadd9/B]can’t make it here anymore

I guess we knew the cards were stacked
started out the best of friends
and we beat that highway ‘till it quit beating back
it didn’t mean much in the end some you win, some you lose
some you throw away
we headed South across those Colorado plains
just as empty as the day we looked around at all we saw
remembered all we’d hoped to see

looking out through the bugs on the windshield
somebody said to me

(chorus)
no more buffalo
blue skies or open road
no more rodeo
no more noise
take this Cadillac
park it out in back
mama’s calling
put away the toys

don’t chase that carrot
‘till it makes you sick
what do you think you’re gonna prove
just let it dangle
‘till it falls off that stick
that’s when you make your move

don’t go chasing after shooting stars
trying to make yourself a name
you could joust at the windmills
with that old Fender guitar
you’d probably do about the same

(chorus)

I never thought they’d ever doubt my words
I guess they were just too tired to care
I’d point to the horizon
to the dust of the herds
still hovering in the air
somebody said it aint any such
man you wish so hard you’re scaring me
and those are combines kicking up that dust
but I guess you can see what you want to see
you can keep on chasing what used to be there
top that rise and face the pain

but man they were here
they were here I swear
not just these bleaching bones
stretching across the plain

(chorus)hey broke into your car last night,
took the stereo
