    This song was written on the road on a tape recorder while driving from Bismarck, North Dakota to Missoula, Montana. I later turned this rant/poem about my relationship with my father into a folk song!

lyrics

Just cruising along, the north dakota cornfields I guess it was supposed to end like this. Just breathing fire and spitting out ice, thats the way it was, the way it always was. Said, your hearts scorching and you lungs can't breathe, your big shoulders and your rusty voice. Said there ain't no poet in this dusty cornfield and the things we said they weren't meant to heal. (Chorus) And when we get home we're going to smoke a big ass cigar for the sun as we watch it caress the horizon, then we'll see you and me how our problems are clear and we'll laugh our eyes to tears. (Verse 2) Head on back to Oakland for a night by the lake, Said I'm watching her eyes dazzle in the moonlight. Just breathing in the marijuana smoke my hands get clammy when she leans close. My best friend is sitting upside down in a tree and he's gritting his teeth with anxiety and he is thinking about burrowing underground because he's stuck for life in this town. (Verse 3) So I guess I'll hide behind my sunglasses, said the sky is clear but my eyes are pink. Just thinking about the north dakota cornfields and the things we said they weren't meant to heal. Lace your fingers in mine and tie them in knots that we don't quite understand the only way that we will ever grow. Said I know its going to take sometime to realize our words are meant to heal but i just got to show you how they feel.
