Generate meaning
1
once a week
2
i make the drive
3
two hours east
4
to check the
5
austin post office box
6
and i take the detour
7
through our old neighborhood
8
see all the
9
chevy impalas
10
in their front yard up on blocks
11
and i park
12
in a alley
13
and i read through the postcards you
14
continue to send
15
where as indirectly as you can
16
you ask what i remember
17
i like these torture devices
18
from my old best friend
19
well i'll tell you what i know
20
like i swore i always would
21
i don't think it's going to do you
22
any good
23
i remember
24
the train headed south outta bangkok
25
down toward
26
the water
27
i always get a late start
28
when the sun's going down
29
and the traffic's thinning out
30
and the glare is hard to take
31
i wish the west texas highway
32
was a mobius strip
33
i could ride it out forever
34
when i feel my heart break
35
i almost swear I hear it happen
36
is the clear and that hard
37
i come in off the highway
38
and i park in my front yard
39
i fall out of the car
40
like a hostage from a plane
41
think of you a while
42
start wishing it would rain
43
and i remember
44
the train headed south outta bangkok
45
down toward
46
the water
47
i come into the house
48
put on a pot of coffee
49
walk the floors a little while
50
i set your post card on the table
51
with all the others like it
52
i start sorting through the pile
53
i check the the picture
54
and the postmarks
55
and the captions and the stamps
56
for signs of any patern at all
57
when i come up empty handed
58
the feeling almost overwhelms me
59
i let a few of my
60
defenses fall
61
and i smile a bitter smile
62
not a pretty thing to see
63
think about a railroad platform
64
back in nineteen eighty three
65
and i remember
66
the train headed south outta bangkok
67
down
68
down toward
69
the water
