Salutations

Another day, another race to find some time
To sit alone and make a list
To cross them off, and add more to it
I'll sit, I'll pick out some chord, if I get around to it
I never like 'em, I'm never satisfied
They they never get finished
So I walk to the mailbox, I got used to it
I see some mail, I pray to god that it's gonna be a good day
No bills to pay
And I get a letter in my hand

[Chorus]
Salutations from the north
Why don't you come back home?
Maine is cold, it's that time of year
But I'll keep the fires burning

[Post-Chorus]
I drive and I drive (come homе)
I drive and I drive
I drive and I drivе
I drive and I drive

[Verse 2]
It's Wednesday afternoon
The kids are in school
This is the first day I've had on my own in seven months
I don't know what the hell to do, so I go shopping
It's the zero credit form of shopping where you buy and return
So I buy, and I return
Which is great
Until you realise what a colossal waste of time your life's become
I mean, what am I waiting for?
For the stars to align? For somebody to call?
Who? From where?
I just get back in my car, and I'm driving
Anywhere

[Chorus]
Salutations from the north
Why don't you come back home?
Maine is cold, it's that time of year
But I'll keep the fires burning

[Post-Chorus]
Come home
Come home
Come home
I drive and I drive (come home)
I drive and I drive (come home)
I drive and I drive (come home)
I drive and I drive
