Michael Penn - Denton Road Lyrics

I've heard people say they've come for miles
To pay their due respects
(For mileage, each expects)
A pillar of community and style
At heart, a family man
Who'd had a change of plan

Goodbye Sally, Simi Valley
Denton Road, The Roosevelt Hotel
For my own farewell
And if you don't show, that's fine

What's it say about me that I'm bored?
Don't need another speech
To know I'm out of reach.
Someone made a joke about the lord
And somehow it relates
To a dash between the dates

Goodbye Sally, Simi Valley
Denton Road, The Roosevelt Hotel
For my own farewell
And if you don't show, that's fine

I don't expect you to, you've got other things to do
In a life I now know that I never really knew
The lights are going out, They shut the lid
I guess I lost the thread, I'm in over my head

Goodbye Sally, Simi Valley
Denton Road, The Roosevelt Hotel
For my own farewell
And if you don't show, that's fine

For my own farewell
And if you don't show, that's fine
