Leaving the Valley

Leaving the valley
In a U-Haul loaded down
All of our belongings
Except for what we left in
Storage back in town
Long desert highway
Where the wheels stop
No one knows
My sister breathing
This song playing on the radio

How do you stop a rolling stone?
How will you know
You're finally home, finally home
How many canyons will you run
Before your face warms in the sun
In the sun
Before you're finally home
Finally home

Wish it would rain now
Like Hilda always says
The devil beats his wife again
As the monsoon clouds start rolling in
We got our model home
But what the Lord gives he can take away
Raindrops on windshield
As the wipers wave
A long goodbye

How do you stop a rolling stone?
How will you know you're finally home
Finally home
How many canyons will you run
Before your face warms in the sun
In the sun
Before you're finally home
Finally done running

Oh Dunlap, Oh Peoria
Oh Cactus, Oh Thunderbird
Oh Greenway, Oh Bell Road
Oh Union Hills & 35th Avenue
Oh Union Hills & 35th Avenue

If I swung my tassel
To the left side of my cap
After graduation
Will there be no going back?
