Verona Road Songtext

von Greg Brown

Out on Verona Road
There's a lot of building going on but there is everywhere
Come get your share
Of the American trance
Out on Verona Road
I seem to always find myself driving there
Headed nowhere
When I get a chance.

And the sun keeps coming up and going down
World keeps turning 'round and 'round and 'round
There was more snow than we'd ever seen
You wouldn't have thought that this old world
Would ever again be green.

Out on Verona Road
She ain't in love with her husband but they get along
He don't do her wrong
And the kids are good
Out on Verona Road
In her flower garden she tells herself to be strong
Just go along
And do what she should.

And the sun keeps coming up and going down
World keeps turning around and 'round and 'round
There was more snow than we'd ever seen
You wouldn't have thought that this old field
Would ever again be green.

Out on Verona Road
Thunder clouds pile up like dirty thoughts in the western sky
Up real high
And down real low
You can make your heart so tired
If you keep asking why
Should I try
Or just let go.

And the sun keeps coming up and going down
The world keeps turning 'round and around and around
There was more snow than we'd ever seen
You wouldn't have thought that old yard
Would ever again be green.

Out on Verona Road
Drive through once more as I head out west
I think it's best
If I start again
Out on Verona Road
Sure looks like she is gonna stay
I hope she finds a way
To open her heart again.

And the sun keeps coming up and going down
The world keeps turning 'round and 'round and 'round
There was more snow than we'd ever seen
You wouldn't have thought this old yard
Would ever again be green.

And the sun keeps coming up and going down
The world keeps turning 'round and around and around
There was more snow than we'd ever seen
You wouldn't have thought this old world
Would ever again be green.
