Thank You, John Steinbeck - Trampled By Turtles

I was a lot younger but I was a fighter

And now he could get me out of any jail

I packed up and left, part of me waited

But I already know how lucky I am

World softly spinning and the stars are forever

And I remember the violence in your hazel eyes

I know I should say, yeah I know I should tell her

I’m sorry for everything and I hope you’re all right

Is the light still blinding?

Is the morning sun still coming back?

I was saved by the water of rivers

By the laughter of children who wish I was home

But asking the world to make it come easy

Didn’t work for your parents, yeah you’re on your own

I left in a hurry, my clothes barely buttoned

And Travels With Charley tucked under my arm

Got the road to your cell and you’re out there certain

I’m thinking about you wherever you are
