lyrics

Wide open, underneath the sun
Darryl calls out to his mom
We have everything we want
Why are we on the run
These tall cornfields
They’re not where I grew up
These stars above
They’re not the ones I know

There’s something that happens when dreams don’t come true
Something I don’t ever want for you
I knew it when I picked you up on that sweet Virginia morn
I knew it on the day you were born

We were young, son
Didn’t know just want to do
We thought we’d thought it all through and through
Early each morning I used to go to work
Your father too
For our pentecostal church
It wasn’t like something happened
Some incident or crime
Most things, Darryl, they happen over time

There’s something that happens when dreams don’t come true
Something I don’t ever want for you
I knew it when I picked you up on that sweet Virginia morn
I knew it on the day you were born

I don’t think, my baby
It’s penance or it’s fate
That pushed us to the interstate
Under this sky in Indiana
I’m hoping it’s not too late
These tall cornfields
They’re not where we grew up
These stars above
They’re not the ones we know
Colorado or New Mexico
Or California - they’re not our home

There’s something that happens when dreams don’t come true
Something I don’t ever wish on you
I knew it when I kissed you on that sweet Virginia morn
I knew it on the day you were born
Yes I knew it on the day you were born
