In His Car
After an arguement in his car was where I would find my daddy
Living there
GroomING in rearview mirrors
Sittting like it was the most normal thing
His home away from home
I guess
But to see the look on his face
Life was passing by
As he slept the night away
in his car
I knew he'd much rather be
Inside the house
Watching me grow
I would wave to him on my way to school
So hard for me to comprehend
why daddy couldn't just come home
My mom found unsual ways to punish him
she never knew that it hurted me
just being on the outside looking in
Watching him in his car
day after day
I learned some things about life
That I never wanted to learn
How cold. How lonley.
He must have been in his car.
NO LOVE INSIDE.
Just a place to be
A small insane assylum
Where he was being sentenced
Sometimes I wondered why he stayed
lounging in his car
But than I realized it was
Cause he loved my mommy
So he'd sleep in that car for centuries
Just to get back on her good side
