Dave Alvin - From a Kitchen Table Lyrics

I hope this letter finds you
Wherever you may be
â€~Cause I mailed some awhile back
And they were all returned to me

Ain't nothin' I can tell you â€~bout the hometown
Everything changes, but nothing's new
Just Sunday night at the kitchen table
Finishin' a beer and thinkin' of you

And I still work the same job
Just live with my mom for free
â€~Cause ever since the old man passed on
It just got harder to leave

Well, I heard a rumor that you got married
Though you swore that you never would
I guess you finally got your own kids now
You ever tell â€~em â€~bout the old neighborhood?

Like the time we stole your dad's car
Drove all night down Imperial Highway
You kept sayin', ‽Maybe we should turn around”
And I said, ‽It don't take much to get away”

But I still work the same job
Just live with my mom for free
â€~Cause ever since the old man passed on
It just got harder to leave

Guess that's all that I've got to tell you
I guess things turned out how they're meant to be
I just hope that this letter finds you
But until then I'll just keep it with me

And I still work the same job
Just live with my mom for free
â€~Cause ever since the old man passed on
It just got harder to leave
