you’re looking at a used car
at the end of a cul de sac
the canary yellow body shows a little rust
but could fit all of your things in the back
shaded by a wall of kudzu
you hear some kids playing down the street
while you listen to a man talking with his hands
saying “take all the time you need”
so go ahead, kick the tires, won’t you
have a look at what’s under the hood
then drive around the block
with the stereo blasting
and see if it makes you feel good
cause you know that it’s gotta feel good
you’re considering a new job
twelve hours north in Baltimore
it pays a little better and you’re ready for a change
but it’s hard to walk out the door
and leave your little home in Macon
where your friends live down the street
so you listen for a sign in the song on the radio
to tell you where you’re supposed to be
the cool night air excites your skin
as your canary flies down 129
while Tom Petty sings about free falling
and if feels like
it’s gonna work out fine
yeah it feels right
and you know that it’s gotta feel right
