Downtown diner opens every single day
You'll be there its the only game in town
You walk three blocks
You've seen all there is to see
What else were you looking for
New stop light
Down on the corner
But you don't worry
You know all the cops in town by name
Just enough to do
Watching the seasons pass us by
Oh we love it when they hang those lights
On main street
For the holiday parade
Travel the road
Stop in the places
Lost in crowd
One of the faces
High on the mountain
I've seen you before
I'm coming home late
Please, don't lock the door
Not much has changed
In forty fifty sixty years
Except the streets were much busier back then
'Specially when the rail cars use to come through town
But that was a long, long time ago
When the big road came
It took the center from the city
And it left us
All this shell we call home
We call home
Home
Travel the road
Stop in the places
Lost in crowd
One of the faces
High on the mountain
I've seen you before
I'm coming home late
Please, don't lock the door
Your baby she's a hiker and a hunter
She'll work hard to never let you down
At nights she walks between those old rail tracks
But not too late
She works early in the morning
The two of you think about leaving all the time
But you'll stay
Like your mother's, father's, grandfathers
Before you
You
But you travel the road
Stop in the places
Lost in crowd
One of the faces
High on the mountain
I've seen you before
I'm coming home late
Please, don't lock the door
Don't lock the door
