He Won't Answer

[Verse 1] Another night in this black water rain cloud Kicking through the puddles on his way up to the Greyhound and In his pocket is a letter from his mother, folded up saying... (Where have you been?) Yeah, but he won't write back Left his whole life on the nightstand Open up his wounds and let em bleed onto the white sand And you can label him another problem typecast And stay the hell away from him like everybody else has And that's exactly why he flees to the road Another notch in the war club he keeps in his soul And if you ever saw him swing it you would easily know And have the worried urge to ask him (Where have you been?) Yeah, but he won't answer Blinking as the headlights pass him Rip the chills off of his spine and throw them right at you But sometimes you don't really get what ask for And life gets so cold and you can never go back home [Hook] Where would you go if could never go home? (go home) What would you say if they never even asked you? (asked you) Where would you go if could never go home? (go home) What would you say if they never even asked you? (asked you) Where would you go if could never go home? (go home) What would you say if they never even asked you? (asked you) Where would you go if could never go home? (go home) What would you say if they never even asked you? [Verse 2] The sun rises on a dead open one way And dilates his pupils like a fire struck his young face Dead to the world, he's planning his exit to stare death in the face (Where have you been?) Yeah, but he won't fold He's been waiting for the end of the road To have this cold world drop off and swallow him whole It's a one way trip, he don't plan to return And as the vessel of his escape out eases into the terminal Lost, with nothing but a smirk on his face As he steps off the bus and starts picking up pace and You could see it in the people as he ran past that everyone was wondering (Where have you been?) He's almost home, and he can feel it in the cracks of his bones As he runs up the stairs that pass over the road and Without a hesitation stopping his actions He leaps from the guardrail and dives into traffic [Hook] [Outro] Daddy was a rolling stone Mama never gave two shits about a broken home I said Daddy was a rolling stone Mama never gave two shits about a broken home (Where have you been?) I said daddy was a rolling stone Mama never gave two shits about a broken home I said Daddy was a rolling stone Mama never gave two shits
