Roebuck Parkway

Ashes scattered across the parkway
Ozone burning up in the West
I passed her mama's house, where the years were laid out in a long
Line before me
And where they're now all laid to rest

Carry me back, Roebuck Parkway
Carry me back to where you bend
Carry me back to her mama's driveway
Where we were squirming in the backseat
And everything made sense
It ain't been that way since
Carry me back

She traded living for survival
And she traded cough syrup for champagne
And she set her pretty feet down on 20 East, and called it a trade up
I just felt betrayed
Carry me back, Roebuck Parkway
Carry me back to where you bend
Carry me back to her mama's driveway
Where we were squirming in the backseat
And everything made sense
It ain't been that way since
Carry me back
