Next Bus

Next Bus
mother woke up last night from a dream that made
her scream, and she knows its because she's lost
her love for her boy, who's leaving in the morning
on the next bus out of town. Father broke down and
cried because he's thinking back about his heart
attack and broken back he gave himself. His love
for his son was strictly verbal, and now he's leaving
in the morning on the nest bus out of town. You know
he's long gone. He ain't said a word concerning his
destination, and he's got enough sense not to come

back home.
