move out

Description

with her eldest out in the field since the day that the orders came took her youngest boy away took him over the ocean like a soldier he showed know emotion he'd always been special not just one of the crowd got his name in the papers would have made his old man so proud and you can see from miles around standing up on the shoulders of my little town with a heartbeat that's big and profound you can see it out there you can hear it i swear where the restless gotta get out of this place and those who've settled search for a saving grace you can see the stories written there on their faces in my little town my little town another fight in a war gone wrong but out soldier stands brave and strong he's thinking words he wouldn't say so he talks of his girl back home and how they made angels in the falling snow we're saving our money to move out on our own in a little house nearby, she's gonna make it our home some day and he says and you can see from miles around standing up on the shoulders of my little town with a heartbeat that's big and profound you can see it out there you can hear it i swear when i come home it's going to be a surprise i'm gonna slip in the back door like a dream in disguise and we'll make love while she's looking in my eyes in our little town, our little town where we have a factory with idle machines and high school heros with their scholarship dreams where weekend warriors have answered the call and whose homecomings were a surprise after all and now that mother with her chin on her chest says she wishes they'd have dressed him in his sunday best 'cause he ain't just another soldier that's been laid to rest in my little town my little town and his girl is still asleep upstairs in that little house that would have been theirs she wants to dream now that hope is scarce in my little town my little town my little town
