We live in a home in a city so grand

but no where to roam they’ve run out of land.

We know a safe place a home made for two no traffic to face only the wild to subdue. We go visit yearly a six hour drive a vision so clearly the past comes alive. We go down with grandpa and a brother or two sometimes there’s grandma There’s so much to do. We know they’re ahead, so tall we can’t see, an old mountain bed so covered with steam. We unpack the truck, we race for the rooms a fight get’s us stuck until a train whistle blooms.
