Joe Can'T Go Home Again
Joe Can’t Go Home Again
By Elton Camp
It’s an especially bad feeling
Cherished memories stealing
A place one’s lived most of his life
Torn down is like the cut of a knife
It isn’t possible anymore
To enter a familiar door
Rooms where a man has slept
Are unworthy of being kept
Only an empty lot to see
Where home used to be
Poor Joe watches with utter dismay
As his long-time home is torn away
His emotions it does assail
Demolishing the County Jail
