Goose Down Drive
In the clearing beyond the trees
I indeed was quite impressed.
The grand tour brought me to my knees.
There was so much to digest
You're in the house on Goose Down Drive
The holy grail so you'll feel alive
All hodge podge.
Three-car garage.
Everything you need to survive.
There's Pottery Barn at every corner.
You're no longer a Kurt Cobain mourner.
All cleared out from that circle of doubt
Packed in with a lot of drive.
You're all set at Goose Down Drive
At Our Lady of Fatima
With witnesses all around
You broke the bank to book the room.
Then a one eighty turnaround.
But if you feel that moving under,
Will you admit to any blunder?
Say what you want to your little savants.
Who am I to deride?
After all, you're quick to call it when it falters
One would expect that from mother's daughter.
Bolster your heart.
Don't fall apart.
You've got to be sharp as knives.
To save your face at Goose Down Drive
Where everyone's a winner.
No place for beginners
Minding the queen so busy in her hive.
In moments of sheer distress
Some Ritalin at recess.
Leave it up to day care to revive
What's all going down at Goose Down Drive.
For the record, I'm merely standing by
In the home bleachers as muddled tempers fly.
I'll suffocate I swear if stay around too long.
I'll have one more beer too many and then I'm gone.
For God's sake, you could slow down
Before a total breakdown.
Don't get me wrong.
I'd be the first to say you tried.
As daddy was a loser,
A dreamer, and a boozer.
As we watched those pyramid schemes take their dives.
He never made it to Goose Down Drive.
You made it.
You made it.
