(Special Edition)

lyrics

They took their names down off the front door
Pulled the sign down from the drive
And they packed the plates and the glasses
Wrapped newspaper ‘round the knives
Made the rounds to their best neighbors
Just the ones who knew their names
Had a beer out in the backyard
Took the pictures and left the frames

And they packed a few belongings
And left the rest behind
In bags out on the corner
For the Wednesday truck to find
Left at dawn the next morning
For a long hot two day drive
With nothing but each other
That was left of their old lives

No one knows them where they’re going
No one knows what they might find
Just the wild eye of the city
To watch over them at night
Who knows if they’ll stay together
Or if they’ll go their separate ways
But they never loved each other
Like they did on moving day
No they never loved each other
Like they did on moving day
