Last year’s cross country trip included a stop in Carbondale Illinois where I went to college.
I hadn’t been back in 50 years and it filled me with stories that I hadn’t thought about in
decades. Not all of them good.
There were a few terrible things that happened back then that made my time there much more
difficult then I would have liked. I survived and in the process I realized it was just another step
in this long journey. While visiting something unusual happened the first day walking down the
street. I ran into a guy I knew from my time there who never left. You should have seen the look
on my wife’s face when I yelled out “ Hey Dave”. This song is about that visit and is dedicated
to Justin Boot Co. and Jose Cuervo Traditional Tequila. I hope you like it and feel free to
comment as always. Thanks, Tom

Ain’t been around here much
Since i left this town
There’s ghosts round every corner
And they don’t make a sound
But somewhere in the back of my head
I might have never left
Got half a mind to leave right now
If the other half knew what’s best
In the trunk’s there’s a pair of Justins
Wore out long ago
Never thought that I’d be back here
Walkin this old gravel road
To a place where I can look back and
Remember my roots
Sure has been a real long time
Since i wore them boots
Some things they oughta stay buried
Way down in the dirt
If you go digging around there
Somebody’s gonna get hurt
Don’t you wake them sleeping dogs
Don’t em let know you’re here
Don’t go trying to change the past
Just let it disappear
In the trunk’s there’s a pair of Justins
Wore out long ago
Never thought that I’d be back here
Walkin this old gravel road
To a place where I can look back and
Remember my roots
Sure has been a real long time
Since i wore them boots
