On This Day
he’ll sit there
on the front row
not the middle
or the last
but the front
his heart in his eyes
it’ll all go by
he’ll bow his head
and get up
and walk out
to the car
at the front of the line
and he won’t want
to get out
won’t want to stand there
in the sunlight
on this day
this summer day
so, he’ll have to sit down
and he won’t want to get back up
won’t want to drive away
and go back home
but she won’t have it
and she’ll tell him so
she’ll tell him no
you gotta go
you gotta go on …
go on now
