Michael Penn - Denton Road lyrics

I've heard people say they've come for miles

To pay their due respects

(for mileage, each expects).

"A pillar of community and style".

"At heart, a family man

Who'd had a change of plan".

Goodbye Sally, Simi Valley,

Denton Road, The Roosevelt Hotel

For my own farewell

And if you don't show, that's fine.

What's it say about me that I'm bored?

Don't need another speech

To know I'm out of reach.

Someone made a joke about the lord

And somehow it relates

To a dash between the dates.

Goodbye Sally, Simi Valley,

Denton Road, The Roosevelt Hotel

For my own farewell

And if you don't show, that's fine.

I don't expect you to.

You've got other things to do

In a life I now know that I never really knew.

The light are going out. They shut the lid.

I guess I lost the thread.

I'm in over my head.

Goodbye Sally, Simi Valley,

Denton Road, The Roosevelt Hotel

For my own farewell

And if you don't show, that's fine.

For my own farewell

And if you don't show, that's fine.
