About this listen

my father is depressed in their small retirement apartment

he watches TV or the big trucks on the interstate outside of his window

driving in one direction, driving in the other direction

he says this is no way to spend the last years of your life

he wants to get in his big silver pick up truck

and just get on that highway and drive up north

where there’s lots of space

and there are big statues of American heroes

that were blasted into the side of the mountain

there is nothing to do but love him
