about

“When you’re safe at home you wish you were having an adventure; when you’re having an adventure you wish you were safe at home.” (Thornton Wilder) -K.W.

lyrics

Walker Cory was a heated boss
Couldn't bear the Stumptown rains
Nary spoke a pleasant word
The dampness filled his veins

He had no love for the jacks who toiled
Beneath his stony glare
Would not abide the man who bled
He'd shoot you on a dare

So I packed it in for Illinois
Been away too long
Shout so long to old Bull Run
And tell the chief I'm gone

Friday night in a Sandy bar
When all the boys were high
The foreman's blood was runnin' hot
And no one asked him why

Cory bellowed set me up
The last call come and gone
The barman Lyle cut him off
He'd never see the dawn

...

He flew into a fit of rage
And swung his fists around
So me and Mickey banged him good
His forehead struck the ground

The barroom filled with silence
All the drunkards fled the place
And only Cory's lifeless body
Filled the empty space

...

I guess I'm bound for Naperville
My hometown family fold
To fit my face with a joyful grin
My loved ones can behold
