Carried Home
The kettle burned because I left it too longWhen we were kissing with the radio onThe cat was choking on a rattlesnake boneThe town had gathered around the soldier boyCarried home
And every summer there was imminent rainThe sick kids ate a bowl of red clayThe late judge teetered in a jon boatThe town had gathered around the soldier boyCarried home
The broken window and the pretty blue skyAnd cold water for my swollen black eyeWe shook some money from your mother's old clothesWhen all had gathered around the soldier boyCarried home
