Driving Around

Last night I went back my hometown Crossed a bridge named for a boy sent overseas I said a prayer and I kept driving around Bracing for the ghosts that I might see I drove until the ballfields were in sight Where futures were forever were set in stone Some determined in the bright spotlights And some in places beyond the endzone And I swear I saw myself as a little kid Hoping to find his place in the crowd And I can't say for sure I ever did All I know is that I'm back here driving around Well I left town I said I'd never be back And now every mile is another lie I've told I watched the stop light swing in the summer wind Telling me it's ok to go I crossed the bridge again as I left town And I thought about that boy sent overseas And the questions asked and the answers we found And how that boy was on our baseball team And I swear that I saw us both as kids Hopin' to find our places in the crowd Tonight I guess in a way we both did Him gone on and me just driving around"
