Handsome Family
Somewhere Else To Be
I didn't wrap my head in roses. I didn't runscreaming down the street. I didn't driveoff jagged cliffs or dive in roaring seas.I broke no cage door open. I set no horsesfree. The day the girl at the drive-thruwindow softly smiled at me.Actually, I did nothing as she handedme a large iced tea, an extra packet of ketchup, a small bag of onion rings.I didn't even smile back at her just pulled intothe street, searching my rearview mirrorto catch her ees on me. 'Cause there were cars behind me and I had someplace else to be.Down the street I saw an old man eatingas he drove, running over empty canslying in the road.But the billboards near the highway werefull of singing birds and the trees wereblooming green in their little squares of dirt.Every dog chained in every yard washowling with me but I didn't even smileback at her, I just pulled into the street.'Cause there were cars behind me and I had somewhere else to be.
