Roadside Memorial

You can drive a car

But you have to ride a horse.

We ride our lives,

Of course you know,

From barn to yard

To wood to road.

There was once a hand

That would carry me anywhere.

That was 19 years ago,

Now my feet know where to go.

Great,

These things happen,

I've got to hand it to my heart;

It should have shattered long ago,

But the goddamned thing won't fall apart.

We're traveling at the speed of sound.

It's a good, great place to crash a car,

But I don't think we have to do it.

Throw our notebooks out the window

And put our family names into it.

I've lost track of the ambulance chasers

Coming up behind the car.

It's a 5 car pile-up,

That's a 1 heart pile-up.
