For Eugene - Kevin Devine

My neighbors came to me

They asked if I would leave

I’ve got nowhere to go

I’ve got nowhere to go

My father built this place

In 1928

I’ve got nowhere to go

I’ve got nowhere to go

Where would I be?

My life is here

Entirely

When it swallowed Father Cap

I realized I was trapped

I’ve got nowhere to go

I’ve got nowhere to go

I called my sister, said:

«The water’s coming in.»

I’ve got nowhere to go

I’ve got nowhere to go

Where would I be?

I’m waiting, dear

Come for me

I hung up the phone

Sat & cleared my throat

I’ve got nowhere to go

I’ve got nowhere to go

I’ve got nowhere to go

I’ve got nowhere to go
