We Always Come Back

(D) Standing here at Lake Bank, on Cemetery Hill

Trying to get into the right frame of (A) mind.

The wind blows hard, yet it is soft and still

And I’m still looking for short-cuts I could not (D) find

(D) Look two miles east, that’s where I was born

Look a mile south, that where I went to (A)school

To the west is Salt Creek, land of yellow corn

Finally north, where I left this land like a (D) fool

(D) I remember when I was young and free

Had no problems, was just killing (A) time.

When one day that old man told me

That it was time that was killing (D) me.

(D)Now sixty years later, I stand here by my marker

Doubting the quality of my much touted (A) dash

I admit that I could have worked harder

Then my life’s story rushes by in a (D) flash

(D) Now the sun’s going down cross Salt Creek on the west

My stone-marker’s shadow makes a long, long (A) cast

The number one son, has come home....to rest

Home, finally back home....at (D) last.
