in four more hours she'll be gone
cancer erodes the body
I've taken enough today
you can sit at your desk and never see the family
as it sinks into my chest
remind me why I became a nurse
I quit
I resign
I haven't got the heart to look that family in the eye
and go on break and pretend I'm not a little dead inside

I quit my job as a nurse
I needed to find hope in man
down on the road
I saw a man with a raised hand
I said "hey, where will you go?"
-please take me down the road. I haven't got money to pay, but I'll gladly tell you my story.
back in 43, I left my life in the city and roamed from town to town until I met a real live clown who showed me how to get around. making money playing rubes. don't think they lost/then they don't lose
I thought myself apart from growing up on the road.
I met a girl a named Jane who lived up in Colville town.
maybe I could settle down.
maybe turn my life around.
if I think I won, I didn't lose...
hey pal, this is my stop
thank you

Halves Of A Whole

Bob went down that roads went to the north.
I ended up in the middle of Washington.
Dolly on the tube, I'm always jealous of her jumpsuit.
singing "I will always love you"
then I heard a boom come from out the east
the sirens are a blaring
emergency broadcast on the tv
feel my blood rate up,
the tension getting high
outside its raining ash
I need to call my wife
the telephone is dead
panic setting in
someone asks for a nurse
I put my head down and order a drink

Loose On The Landscape

try as I may
I never can leave
or a mountain blows up and loses its top
I can run from Couer D'Alene, Idaho but people keep dying where ever I run. and I run
Bob was right that "If you can't find it, its just the same as if you don't have it".
Like I'm stuck in that Bill Murray movie where nothing seems to change, its the same everyday
I'd just like the opposite once
where everything's different
where I can get away and no one gets hurt
it'd be such a blessing to not have a curse
for once...

To tell it like it was
Mom you really messed me up
you drove them all away, except the Tanqueray
I think you number's up in the biggest little city
you'd always go too far, so swim back to the ocean
and they would lock you away, I'd be a ward of the state
I made a promise to help and now I hate it
get in the car
no more bob, no more volcano
I'll head east where no one knows me

Good Golly Take Molly

stay awake
eyes on the road
counting lines
where did the time go
i90 drive and it all looks the same
43 miles until I pull over
and then I heard a crack and started to smell smoke
the engine light on, I pull over to the side of the road
I started to smell smoke and flame
Molly is on fire on the interstate
Molly is on fire in the middle of the night

Visiting Permanently

it seems like it was just a dream when I woke up in a cheap motel
if it isn't this, its something else
and Molly's burnt to hell
it's hard to make a bad comeback when I'm stranded here in Billings town
it's hard to think I've ever won when I always seem to lose
now I stare at a pizza ad on the back of a phonebook
I start to question my own life
then the phone would ring it was my best friend in Spokane
he said "I heard what happened to you, I think that I could help you to get back on your feet and start to live again"
and then I'd just start running away from everything
I'm out here languishing
I'm so bound
here without a sound
I'm languishing
then it came to me
I knew just what to do
I picked up the phone
it rings once
it rings twice

I think that we should talk
you at least owe me that
I know it's been a while...
could you please help me dad?
I know you said that...
not to call
would you please help me out?
I've been running hard
it's time to come home
I swear I'm not like mom.
we've been putting this off too long

I get off the plane
I received a page
I'm sorry my boy but I can't do this
I hope you can find a way to move on
I know you've had it hard
I know I couldn't stay
nothing I could do
nothing I could say to make up for the past
please take this envelope with a little cash and move on

The Ocean Of Always

this time it's the end
I've been running hard
I close my eyes and pull out my blade
I lift it up and start to pray
then I hear a voice call out to me
don't you remember me?
you drove me down this road
where you headed boy?
Bob, please let me go
I've been running like I don't know
You see I've lost everything
this time it's the end
he said this time, it's not the end
so you lost it all...
that means you're free
this time it's not the end
