Sunday In Gadsden

30 miles out, I'm here to stay Soon you will leave and be on your way To work of course, back where I was living Gadsden to Oxford, long drive, are you kidding? Like what am I doing? I'm new to this city As I drive the bridge, glancing at the river that's pretty It's Even better at night Let the lights cast over the water, it gives a reflection so bright I'm tucked away in what seems to be the edge of town One lonely street, not a peep, not a sound By now I'm use to the privacy of it all Referring to my old house, where the drive way compares to Great China Wall All love to the new owners they really pulled a bargain A backyard orchard, a pond, and a garden Here I am, a townhouse, the space is so different 30 miles out, not a curse to be distant
