Dry Out

from Paper Wires by Matt Honkonen

/

lyrics

When you grow up
and out of your clothes
and into a suit

When you put on your tie
you'll wave your goodbyes
to mud on your face
(say goodbye) To digging the dirt
(say goodbye) With your knees in the grass


Out of the door
and down to the street
hailing a cab

Somewhere deep in your thoughts
These things you have lost
That you won't forget
(say goodbye) No matter how you try
(say goodbye) They won't leave your mind

I know it gets hard
when you can't remember the line
The sun beats down over the yard
Everything dries out sometimes

When you finally grow old
And your work is through
It's time to go home

Will you shed a tear
for each missing year
While you were away
(say goodbye) One for each bill you paid
(say goodbye) One for every penny saved
