Nickel Creek - When In Rome lyrics

Where can a sick man go

When he can't choke down the medicine the old doc knows

A specialist came to town but he stays at home

Saying no one knows so I don't honey when in rome

Where can a teacher go

Wherever she thinks people need the things she knows

Hey those books you gave us look good on the shelves at home

And they'll burn warm in the fireplace teacher when in rome

Grab a blanket sister we'll make smoke signals

Bring in some new blood it feels like we're alone

Grab a blanket brother so we don't catch cold from one another

I wonder if we're stuck in rome

Where can a dead mand go

A question with an answer only dead men know

But I'm gonna bet they never really feel at home

If they spent a lifetime learning how to live in rome
