Where will you go?

where have you been?

where have you been?

where have you been?



what road have you been walking miles down, alone

with your old empty soul?

and your stale shoes

forever the bringer of bad news



oh where have you been

my dirty faced child

hair unkempt and wild

and a place i mapped out on your face

where your smile once hung

like your uncle on a tree



oh it now has faded

your bleeding heart jaded

nothing could shock you

-and no no dare mock you

it wouldn't mean anything, any how



oh where have you been?

where have you been

where have you been



oh where have you been

where have you travelled

my ears perked waiting to hear of moments

when you should've wound tightly up

-but instead you unravelled



a roll in the hey

gun shots in may

a man with a toothless grin

and a penny where his heart should've been

a broken down truck on HWY 117

curly brown hair

sweat dust, rust and 2 broken dreams



oh where have you been,

and where are you going

left the infirmary

with your gold heart glowing

13 stitches and a bottle of gin

who knows where it'll end

'cuz we don't know where it began



oh where have you been

where have you been

where have you been



and where are you going?
