"Mailbox" lyrics

"Mailbox"

Everybody knows there's somethin' in the water
Underneath the Otter Creek Bridge at the bottom
Everybody knows if you're driving after midnight
Keep your eyes up, deer in a headlight
If you don't wanna die all alone
Give your heart to a girl, turn a house to a home
Put your name on the mat by the door
Leave the spare key on the floor

I moved away in a dream
Woke up in a cold sweat
I'm too old to leave
Or too young, I forget

There's a pine tree on either side of my old man's driveway
Right next to a No. 3 Highway
And a bent-up mailbox letter with my name

Everybody's got their special kinda problem
Everybody ain't gonna find a way to solve 'em
Me, I've spent most nights in the car
Wishin' I was home with my dog in the yard
And the funny thing my folks don't know
I ain't updated to my new P.O.
My mail still gets sent to their door
Just so I can go and see 'em more

I moved away in a dream
Woke up in a cold sweat
I'm too old to leave
Or too young, I forget

There's a pine tree on either side of my old man's driveway
Right next to a No. 3 Highway
And a bent-up mailbox letter with my name
With my name

I know it ain't much
I know it's been too long
But I just had to tell ya
So I put it in a song
I know it ain't much
I just hope it reaches home

I moved away in a dream
And woke up in a cold sweat
I'm too old to leave
Or too young, I forget

There's a pine tree on either side of my old man's driveway
Right next to a No. 3 Highway
And a bent-up mailbox letter with my name
My name
