Another Line (2011)
Midnight in Memphis house burned out.
For the Aching boned boys in their trip into town,
And Ive never been this old, and Ive never been this young,
Its an arbitrary action to go and take a run.
Loneliness persuades me to feel sorry for myself,
and walk into nothing like thats all there is for me
Silently crying for those things I cannot be
In a summer being wasted for a man who cant get free.
If in another city could I be the same old sap?
If I did not know the corner would I feel Im in a trap?
What would I be doing if I left it all behind?
This castle Ive been building, this castle in my mind.
Old things cant excite me, new things hard to find
For that eager anticipation, the tingle in the spine
I must come off so boring so placid all the time
And to make this verse or stanza I need another line.
