He Won't Answer

Another night in this black water rain cloud

Kickin through the puddles on his way up to the Greyhound and,

In his pocket is a letter from his mother, folded up sayin...

(Where have you beeen?)

Yeah, but he won't write back

Left his whole life on the nightstand

Open up his wounds and let em bleed onto the white sand

And you can label him another problem typecast

And stay the hell away from him like everybody else has

And that's exactly why he flees to the road

Nother notch in the war club he keeps in his soul

And if you ever saw him swing it you would easily know

And have the worried urge to ask him

(Where have you beeen?)

Yeah, but he won't answer

Blinkin as the headlights pass him

Rip the chills off of his spine and throw em right at chu

But sometimes you don't really get what ask for

And life gets so cold and you can never go back home

Where would you go if could never go home? (go home)

What would you say if they never even asked you? (asked you)

Where would you go if could never go home? (go home)

What would you say if they never even asked you? (asked you)

Where would you go if could never go home? (go home)

What would you say if they never even asked you? (asked you)

Where would you go if could never go home? (go home)

What would you say if they never even asked you? (asked you)

The sun rises on a dead open one way

And dilates his pupils like a fire struck his young face

Dead to the world, he's planning his exit to stare death in the face

(Where have you beeen?)

Yeah, but he won't fold

He's been waitin for the end of the road

To have this cold world drop off and swallow him whole

It's a one way trip, he don't plan to return

And as the vessel of his escape out eases into the terminal

Lost, with nothin but a smirk on his face

As he steps off the bus and starts pickin up pace and,

You could see it in the people as he ran past that everyone was wonderin

(Where have you beeen?)

He's almost home, and he can feel it in the cracks of his bones

As he runs up the stairs that pass over the road and,

Without a hesitation stoppin his actions

He leaps from the guardrail and...dives into traffic

Where would you go if could never go home? (go home)

What would you say if they never even asked you? (asked you)

Where would you go if could never go home? (go home)

What would you say if they never even asked you? (asked you)

Where would you go if could never go home? (go home)

What would you say if they never even asked you? (asked you)

Where would you go if could never go home? (go home)

What would you say if they never even asked you? (asked you)
