SAME OLD VIEW
WRITTEN BY
JEFF R HILTON
2022
HUNGRY AND LEAN
THAT LOOK IN HIS EYES
A THOUSAND DIFFERENT
STORIES COULD HIDE
HE SEEMS TO KNOW
THERE'S MILES TO GO
WITH NOTHING IN BETWEEN
STANDING ON THE ONLY CORNER
IN THIS FORGOTTEN TOWN
NO SIGNS OF LIFE
NO ONE AROUND
THERE AIN'T NO SILVER
AND THERE AIN'T NO GOLD
NO WELCOME HE COULD OWN
IT'S TIME TO GO
SO FAR FROM HOME
HE LOOKS IN THE MIRROR
THE SUNSET BEHIND HIM
CHASES HIM
LIKE A GLOWING FIRE STORM
THREATENING TO OVERTAKE
SAVED BY THE STARS
OF THE COMING NIGHT
A HUNDRED MILES OF THREE
HAVEN'T SEEN A SOUL
BUT HE STILL GOES
DRIVES ON BENEATH THE STARS
SWALLOWED BY A COUNTRY NIGHT
FOLLOWED BY THE MOON
DRIVING DEMONS SAILING ALONE
CAREFUL NOT TO DROWN
ALL THE THINGS THAT
HE BELIEVES ARE UP FOR QUESTION
JUST BEFORE A TIME
WHEN LOVE WAS ALL AROUND HIM
LIFE WAS SO EMPTY
THRILLS SO FEW
WALKING AROUND IT
NO MATTER HOW HE SEES IT
IT'S THE SAME OLD VIEW
YOU CAN LOOK AND LOOK
BUT YOU STILL CAN'T SEE
ALL THE WAY THROUGH
IT'S THE SAME OLD VIEW
IT NEVER SEEMS TO CHANGE
SO FAR FROM HOME
IT'S TIME TO GO
