Seeds

too many times in the last few years
the street lifes been my way
i've been drifting around from town to town
trying to make pay

but every one i stop in
they just turn me away
it's so hard to get your feet on the ground
when you've got no place to stay

and all i own is this old suitcase that i hide down by the track
it holds a picture of my mom and dad
with a letter that reads please someday come back my ex girlfriend's worn out necklace
and a book i never read
a church key and some bottle caps and a tiny bag of seeds

i tried to sleep last night but it was so damn cold and no where to get warm
i finally drifted off into a dream and a place that i called home
the front porch up on mountain view you'd never hear a sound
there's just a nice warm breeze blowing through the trees
and not this cold hard ground

i started hiking yesterday i didn't see a car for miles
my mind is wearing thin now and i've misplaced my smile
i wish i had the courage i'd call you on the phone
with a little luck i might get picked up and find my way back home

and all i own is this old suitcase
that i hide down by the track
it holds a picture of my mom and dad with a letter
that reads please someday come back
my ex girlfriend's worn out necklace and a book i never read
a church key and some bottle caps and a tiny bag of seeds
