lyrics

Strip of satin overflowing
Out the hatchback, on the parkway,
Waving like a little child
As she pulls off into Cheesequake.

The attendant does his service
Without speaking, without looking.
She takes off with no eye contact
On to Cape May, no more stopping.

Up ahead, the rain clouds gather,
Just a few drops, then it’s buckets
As the Sufjan Stevens CD
Starts replaying with the trumpets.

She remembers Cracker Barrel,
Playing checkers with her father,
And the fighting with her sister,
How they threatened her poor mother.

She is rounding exit zero,
Her thoughts racing, her heart pounding.
Lying down, the sun starts peeking;
With a breath, she begins crying.
