Hometown Stories

Fingers entwine, just read the signs
Neither can think straight
So she’ll drink her wine
And he’ll go smoke outside
Give it some time problems will rise
Cracks will escalate
You can see it in their eyes love it has escaped
But he’ll figure it out eventually
Figure it out eventually
He says, my family tree, it’s a mystery
Her dark brown eyes, her wandering mind
Passed down from her elders
Her silver tonguealong with her short fuse
She spends her time wondering why
She gathers the pieces
When the ones that she loves
Would simply cut her loose
But she’ll figure it out eventually
Figure it out eventually
Her family tree is a mystery
But she’ll figure it out eventually
He says my dear
I’m sure you will hear out hometown stories
But once they’ve been told
I’m sure they’ll all sound wrong
Figure it out eventually
Fingers entwine, just read the signs
Neither can think straight
So she’ll drink her wine
and he’ll go smoke outside
We’ll figure it out eventually
