[j.d.]
that sign up there says “nissan,”
but where it’s worn away
you can still read “chevrolet.”
bought my ’86 camaro here
i still miss that car today
and over there, where the stop-and-go sits
was the mom and pop with the slow-cooked grits
and the sweet iced tea
with refills free
and cups of joe, and company
there used to be a sign up
saying “glad you came!”
when ev’ry little town around
was as different as its name
now everywhere you go
it all just looks the same:
walmarts, walgreens
wendy’s, applebees
starbucks, stuckey’s
best buy-
[j.d. & benny]
mickey d’s

and that used to be the drive-in
where you tried to make some time

the corner store
the barber shop
the library
[benny]
the drive-in
the mom and pop

the bakery
[j.d.]
now this town’s just a collection
of some old guy’s memories, just a
[all]
ghost upon a ghost
of all these used to be’s
[j.d.]
but if it looks the same
everywhere you roam
tell me, how do you know
when you’ve gotten home?
[all]
how do you know
when you’ve gotten home?
[j.d.]
one coffee cup
one k-mart brand
chicken nugget served
throughout the land
[norma]
the fresh bread smell from the bakery
that used to fill my car
[j.d.]
the lights of the all-night diner
shining like my truth north star
and all the
[j.d., norma, benny]
thousand other little things
that make us who we are
[kelli & greg]
walmarts
[benny]
the drive-in
[kelli & greg]
