Up at dawn and on the highway
Mom asleep against the window
Light is breaking through
I hum a song to keep me company
I swear to God I heard you hum the same tune
If you wanted to I think you could've been a singer
I got it from you
Switch on the radio at dansville
I comb the static signal looking for the news
I found the frequency for sports talk
All the callers lining up to sing the blues
I heard this sammy kid is supposed to be something special
I hope he is
I hope he is

I spread your ashes in orchard park
In the creek beyond the east wall
So I know where you are
Come november when I'm screaming at my tv in the dark
You're screaming with me from orchard park

Mom and I laugh on the way home
She says she's got a black thumb
All the house plants met their doom
But she still tends to your tomatoes
Says the garden's looking healthy
She's already seeing blooms
I don't got much to lose
But I keep close to my chest
The things I still do

I spread your ashes in orchard park
In the creek beyond the east wall
So I know where you are
Come november when I'm screaming at my tv in the dark
You're screaming with me from orchard park

I heard this sammy kid is supposed to be something special
I heard this sammy kid is supposed to be something special
I heard this sammy kid is supposed to be something special
I hope he is
