where are you now

You reaped what you'd sewn
Drove all night in spite of it all
The smell of exhaust
And cracks in the pavement guiding you home
But where are you now?
Sleeping in parking lots
Somewhere in some other town
Swindling all of your possessions
In lieu of your father
Peaking on warm Busch Light in august
Sifting through the couch
Trying to count some kind of blessing
There was something in the sound
Of the rain that night in Memphis

The sound of the cars
Ashed out the window under the stars
You pawned your guitar
Half-written love songs scrawled on the wall
'Cause, where was he now?
Strung out on paradise
Somewhere in some other town
You never doubted for a second
In lieu of your mother
Lying in bed since last thanksgiving
She let her days drift by
Into nights in slow succession
Where are you now?
Where are we now?
Where are you now?
Where are they now?
