I walked through a town
That I once knew
Walked not drove
And that's how I knew
All along the side of the road
Bottles and cans strewn all around
Flattened cigarette packs,
General ******* and such
Stark reminders
Of those down on their luck
We drive past such things
Each and every day
We don't blink an eye
Nor do we say
Maybe that fellow
Could use a lift
It's pedal to the metal
And around all lifes corners
We drift.
