Weddings and Funerals

I got the keys to the rental car
My suit in the back, it's all that I packed
Only here for a night
This time tomorrow I'll have said goodbye
I'm driving slow, but the memories come fast
Like how I hold the high school record for track
Got my jersey on the wall
Somewhere hanging in those halls
Then I think of you, and how you are
You're still here, like my broken heart

Now I only come home for weddings and funerals
Barely take off my coat, never stay too long
Leave some flowers, then I'm gone
It's sure good to see you all
I know I should come back more often
Seems like I only drop in
For weddings and funerals

I grab a seat in the back row
So I'm the last one in and the first to go
The preacher reads the scripture
And all that I could picture
Is where we'd be right now
If I never left this town

Now I only come home for weddings and funerals
Barely take off my coat, never stay too long
Leave some flowers, then I'm gone
It's sure good to see you all
I know I should come back more often
Seems like I only drop in

I don't wanna wonder what it could have been like
I just wanna run every single red light
Get the hell outta here
Yeah, and just disappear

And only come home for weddings and funerals
Barely take off my coat, never stay too long
Leave some flowers, then I'm gone (gone)
It's sure good to see you all
I know I should come back more often
Seems like I only drop in

I know I should come back more often
But for now, I only drop in
At weddings and funerals
