Coca Cola Red

He left a basket where you keep a spare key Orchids and pictures from your first show in the city When your hair reminded him of home Pollen flying in Tennessee springs Around the burnt brick frontier of your elementary school How he loved to walk up there with you Somebody's at your front door Saw you at the improve show Coca cola red took him to the coda Ah, he was sorry to go Always wanted to be an actor You never felt like acting when He told you darling Stay close to ground Said "hold this direction, stay safe in storm" Was not a device to keep you bound to the floor Why didn't you want more? Somebody's at your front door Saw you at the improve show Coca cola red took him to the coda Ah, he was sorry to go He's walking in circles now Dog is gonna chase him out the yard Coca Cola red took him to the ground As he cried, he deserved the blow But there isn't any salt left in your tears You say to yourself "I am a person of my years Not of someone who wasn't here" It's okay So you made him waffles with an air fryer And did your cardinal hair with a blow dryer He wanted to tell you he was sorry to go And all you wanted to say was "I know, I know" Somebody's at your front door Level with this stranger say hello Coca Cola red took him to the coda He smiled he enjoyed the show
