Coincidental Minors (Evatt/Kerr/Roberson)

When night fell we pulled over
To the side of the road
Set up camp in a roadside lot
With a thousand miles to go
Silence hung in the air like smoke
But neither could find the words
So we just stared into the fire and reminisced
About better times and different worlds

And it seems to me
All this could have turned out differently
I tilted at windmills but you called my bluff
And it was just never enough

You think you know somebody
Or at least I guess she did
The truth is unwrapped like a vicious little present
And passed around again
Everybody gets their turn for their eyes to open wide
And reality to rear its ugly head
It seals off the moment in a snapshot photograph
And you can never go back there again

And it seems to me
All this would have turned out differently
You fell like an oak tree but you got back up
And it all changed soon enough

I didn't write you a sonnet
I never stood in the rain
We never walked on the beach in the moonlight
Or a dozen other tired clichés
We had something I thought I'd never know
But it seems I still don't know what I never knew
I can't identify the feelings
But it all left with you

And it seems to me
All this should have turned out differently
I'm swimming with boots on and losing touch
And your memory's faded just like love
…and the sun's coming up

You fell like an oak tree but you got back up
And it all changed soon enough

Pool took a ride in a Maroon Cadillac
Had the dice up front had the bass in the back
Headed up North on 59
Where the roads turn to dirt and the sun won't shine
Got into trouble with a businessman
Didn't like Pool saying where his golf balls oughtta land
Pool was outnumbered, back to the wall
So he dialed three numbers and he got them all
Put the beer on ice put the phone on hold
The Caucasian Boys got one more show

Kerr set out from the Piney Woods
Kissed his daughter good-bye and went off to no good
Evattuse loaded up the four-wheel drive
Bed roll, C4, and Steve Earle for the ride
Tim left out of Austin mad as Hell
Packing Dostoyevsky and shotgun shells
Duck your head when the cars explode
The Caucasian Boys got one more show
