Hanging Tree Lyrics
Another exit on the freewayAnother bridge I cannot bear to cross aloneAnd I've been on the mendI've been getting ready to change my name againAnd once I had a love so fairOnce I had a reason to keep onLeft a paragraph taped up on my doorIt said "Don't wait up 'cause I ain't comin' home"So I've been driving far and wide to find my call in lifeBeen looking for a place where I belongI guess a little pain never killed anyoneI guess I feel that way againI can't come clean, I cannot stayGot no reason to explainI've been here too long, I need a changeAnd I hope you'll understandStained glass window never gonna carry my nameBeen laid to rest in a field of sticks and stonesAnd above my head all that's left are footstepsOf some kid too young too far away from homeSo don't send me invitations to your big paradePlace of residence unknownIn my eyes there is no compromiseThere is no calm before the stormThese things happen all the timeShould I throw myself from the hanging tree?Is there a place for those of us who don't belong?I haven't found it yet
