Midwest

Easy, breezy, blue attitudes

And in my mind I picture you

Chip on shoulder

I'm growing older

Each year I fall

Each mid-October

Across the room I look at you

You know me how

How you always do

Wavering eye

Imminent change

A callous goodbye

Long live the old ways

Lights change from green to red

I'm having the same day again

Leaves change from green to red

I'm having the same day again

When did now become back then?

Like wilting rocks into the sand

Days go on and on and on for days

Time lost to the river

Time lost to the night

Time lost to the river

Time lost to the night

It's gotten the best of me

And the best of what's to come

There's a lot who depend on me

What else could I have done?

I walked into the river

And the current's taken me

Each day I'm in the river

Unaware I'm drowning

Time lost to the river

Time lost to the night

Time lost to the river

Time lost to the night

I'll be alright

I'll be alright
