Blue Skies and Telephone Poles

from Broken Window by Rue Snider

lyrics

Blue skies and telephone poles
It's peaceful here but I still feel alone
Blue skies and telephone poles
The sun should make me smile but it don't

There's Brian down the street who owns The General Store
Tells me "hello" each morning and he means it
You know the way towns like this go
Amanda has been kind to me the nights when I call
She know what I can give and she don't ask me for more
She lets me go

Blue skies and telephone poles
My baby's gone and I feel so alone
Blue skies and telephone poles
To have today I'm luckier than most

Hannah holds my hand while the doctor administers the medicine
She's soft like a bird
She's kind like a minister who don't believe in sin anymore
We sit in silence while I get the treatments
They say I'm gonna make it but that don't make a difference

Oh, way she goes
Alex used to say that when we was younger
Working summers on the roads
"Way she goes
You work until you can't
You do the best you can
And then you go"
Well....

Blue skies and telephone poles
My baby couldn't take it so she's gone
Blue skies and telephone poles
I'll sit and stare at them until I'm gone too
