Left today on a greyhound train
Try not to blame me for running away
Needed to leave had to get out of town
Had to make my way with both feet on the ground
Happiness was the old silk dress
You wore to your senior prom
Your mom and dad made it a special occasion
Taking your picture out on the front lawn
Now I confess that my life's still a mess
I am half the world away but I'm sad just the same
Paradise is not in a postcard or a picture frame
It's as close as me speaking your name
