[Verse 1]
Clothes are on the line
Cover on the wind
Had a drink it must be time
Momma sits and rest
It's a summer in the middle of nowhere
Reality is a heat
And all we have and all we know is what’s within our reach
And I wonder at the crossroads
[Verse 2]
Where the big yellow bus picks up the children
Takes em all down the road
I look at the mama and she knows I really want to go
She says Joe it’s best if you stay here with us
You’re thirty years old and there ain’t no place for you on that bus
[Verse 3]
But I can ride on the tailgate of my daddy’s truck
He would take me to the river
I could hear the boys cutting up
Said I hey Joe where you been
The water’s fine jump on in
Hey Joe make me smile
I could forget about the crossroads for a while
Clothes are on the line
Cover on the wind
Had a drink it must be time
Momma sits and rest
It's a summer in the middle of nowhere
Reality is a heat
And all we have and all we know is what’s within our reach
And I wonder at the crossroads
[Verse 2]
Where the big yellow bus picks up the children
Takes em all down the road
