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
