Shepherd Road

Driver get me the hell away from here
There's a Shepherd Road on the other side of town
West of Greek's on 79th
You'll see a roadside motel with a broken sign

He's only angry when he drinks
And lately he's been angry all the time
After seven long years of monochrome tears from tired eyes
Word travels fast in towns of this size

Yeah, It won't be the first time I walk away
From the beer soaked morals and midnight quarrels
I wasted a youth givin' out second chances but driver
Turn this cab around

Tired bodies they grow older
Heated passions they grow colder
And time can cause as many wounds than it heals
He can lay his hands on me
I never expected him to change
The life of my child is one he will not steal

It won't be my first time crawling back
To the old stone steps of this broken home
But tonight on the cool cracked pavement I hear my baby crying
