Coca Cola Red

He left a basket where you keep a spare key
Orchids and pictures from your first show in the city

And 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 improv 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

Somebodys at your front door
Saw you at the improv 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
