Lincoln Highway
My dad missed my brother’s funeral
He was having brain surgery
He’d collapsed the night before
While I was writing the eulogy
It was a fucked up situation
Everything was so terrible
It was almost funny
It was almost bearable
Then I had to sell my dad’s house
And almost everything he owned
Doctors said the time had come
To move him to a home
I asked if I should set aside
Anything for him to keep
He told me to choose a few things
He wasn’t losing any sleep
Now I'm driving the Lincoln Highway
And all my thoughts are grim
Trying to locate my way
To become as free as him
He simply said goodbye
to eighty years’ of things
I hunger for the weightlessness
Such letting go can bring
My friend Daphne helped me
Arrange the estate sale
The vultures lined up at 6
Me and Daphne bailed
Now I'm driving the Lincoln Highway
And all my thoughts are grim
Trying to locate my way
To become as free as him
