14 Plain Street

Lyrics

14 Plain street went up in smoke Abandoned and ablazing on the six o'clock news Somebody burned down where I grew up I took a drive to the old neighborhood Saw the black holes and boarded up windows A patch of blue sky where the roof was A part of me wanted revenge A part of me wanted to cry The rest of me had to say goodbye I could hear the: Echoes of decades-bikes to cars Birthdays, bee stings, Santa Claus Daddy's last words he spoke to me First grade, first love Kitchen talks,mended hearts Gone in a day gone in a thousand degrees A part of me wanted revenge A part of me wanted to cry The rest of me tried to say goodbye We kept the keys in the cars We kept the front door unlocked The time and the town kept me and my family safe The neighbors would drive by and wave Now they just drive by.... And stare at the wreckage of a hollow house guarded by yellow police tape A chimney brick, a souvenir A little proof that we once lived here Will make a good conversation piece They'll tear down they'll replace But my mind is where I find my only home base To safely keep, Fourteen Plain Street A part of me forgave A part of me cried The rest of me finally said goodbye
