That Moment Comes

It’s a good day to listen to a country song

and think about the past

That moment comes when you remember

all the well-traveled roads

how they all looked the same

and ended in the same destination

right back where you started

all alone and struggling

All that time spent chasing

the same class of people

they all start to blend together

in your fading memories

Eventually the faces blur

and the feelings blunt themselves

like your favorite kitchen knife

in the back of the junk drawer

So listen to the music

and float away in fantasy

Maybe someday something different comes

but not tonight, so just take what’s here

and let it float away
