The County Line


White Sunshine,

Red racing dark cars

Yellow fire hydrants

Old dirty money

Baseball cards on the dresser

A ball cap resting on the floor

Bed made by your mother 

Each kid still young and beautiful

But you never got back on your bike 

You never came back home,

To our warm small town

Where your coffin lays

underground,

just past the county line
