I sit in my hometown
Stop to get a slice
Pizza, ice tea, and a magazine
The peace of a Sunday starts
Small local town
Someone knows someone
Who knows everyone
I still get lost here
Sports topics surround me
And shopping of clothes
Sizes of shirts
What stores take returns
When did I start listening?
When did I stop listening?
My hometown
I left long ago
I return over and over
The ghost of the teenager
I long ago abandoned
Your order is ready
Time to leave
On the road
Over the bridge
The place of my birth
The city that took me in
When I had nothing
Now, where is home?
Listening
Here—right here
Still growing up
