Angeline

One by one the exits pass 25, 46 now half a tank of gas

With moon upon our shoulders still 400 miles to Boulder

But there’s no need to sleep just yet

We’ve been driving now for four some odd days

Through the heartland of America the cornfield and the maze

Liam’s been such a trooper oh you should have seen his face

When the Rocky Mountains came into view

Oh Angeline what you mean to me

Could you not know you’re all I need

Oh darlin’ please come home with me

Leave what you’re doing here

Make us a family

Four more exits now coming into town

One last pit stop at a Denny’s neath the snow caps and the clouds

On this quiet little break my hands begin to shake

And I set the coffee down and let it cool

Oh I slow my breathing down and let it cool

10 more minutes now to the great reveal

With our son tucked tight in bed you can tell me how you feel

What’s the news from the hospital how’s life been treating you

And why now for the letter that you sent

Oh Angeline the debt is clean

I know your moving here was only for a dream

Oh darlin please come home with me

Your favorite mug and stand and waiting for your hand

And if you choose to stay I’ll be there anyway

Just holding Liam’s hand as he becomes a man

Come on dear Angeline the debt is clean

And there’s still mountains there along the sea
