where have you been?
where have you been?
where have you been?
what road have you been walking miles down, alone
with your old empty soul?
and your stale shoes
forever the bringer of bad news
oh where have you been
my dirty faced child
hair unkempt and wild
and a place i mapped out on your face
where your smile once hung
like your uncle on a tree
oh it now has faded
your bleeding heart jaded
nothing could shock you
-and no no dare mock you
it wouldn't mean anything, any how
oh where have you been?
where have you been
where have you been
oh where have you been
where have you travelled
my ears perked waiting to hear of moments
when you should've wound tightly up
-but instead you unravelled
a roll in the hey
gun shots in may
a man with a toothless grin
and a penny where his heart should've been
a broken down truck on HWY 117
curly brown hair
sweat dust, rust and 2 broken dreams
oh where have you been,
and where are you going
left the infirmary
with your gold heart glowing
13 stitches and a bottle of gin
who knows where it'll end
'cuz we don't know where it began
oh where have you been
where have you been
where have you been
and where are you going?
