Sneakers to Fill

The natural takes his showdown stance, a could-be kid with a cosmic chance

Stands starry-eyed with an ancient kind of will

From a threshold town with no way out, to rescue himself from without

And leave behind some big sneakers to fill

A soul man of constant sorrow, losing blues in a car he borrowed

Yearning for the searching feels no ease in being young

Conquered fear of leaving certain shore with a hard luck hope for something more

The anger on the run it looked like fun

So I wrestled with reality for a young man's immortality

I felt it strong and simple like you do when you're alone

I ran and reached, was overwhelmed, left locals laughing to themselves
