Save What We Can
It's snowing
the wind's blowing
and I drive home knowing
I have no place to go
Thoughts
keep racing
through my mind
Wife lost her job
we fell behind
another one
she couldn't find
How could I
have been
so blind
I knew
this day would come
but the mortgage folks said
they would give me some
more time ....
I turn the corner
and from my seat
see all our belongings
there on the street
I love that woman
she's so sweet
even now, through tears
with a hug she greets
The kids are at school
we are in luck
Save what we can
on the back of the truck
