This morning's like a penny - all bright shiny and new

The mean old summer heat is gone, the fall air's kissed with dew

I hear my children laughing – no they ain't seen the news

I breathe a prayer of thanks they're safe at home right now



I drive the long road into town

And all the flags are halfway down

I try to make my peace with this strange ground

On the long road into town.



Another man, another gun, American as pie

And nothing ever changes and no one's asking why

We offer up our thoughts and prayers, we shake our fists and cry

Then go back to our own busy lives.



We drive the long road into town

See the flags are halfway down

We try to make our peace with this strange ground

On the long road into town.



And they'll raise them back up again, but then

in a week or maybe two you'll see....



That on the long road into town

The flags are back.... halfway down

And then we'll make our peace with that strange ground

On the long road into town.
