Apple Valley is a suburb of Saint Paul
the land is flat and the wether is predictable
theres a spot to smoke up on River Valley Churchs roof
if you care to watch the storms over County Road 42
He’s well versed in the way he aught to be
from a distance you’d think that he agreed
he got a car and a job when he turned 16
quit the job and drove down 42 to think
We all get lost from time to time
even with that painted dotted line
you double back, retrace your tracks
and things look different from before
-that’s where those ancient train tracks are
He’s mulling over his discrepancies
pedal down to his beginnings
lost the time and lost who he should be
had a smile as they drained out like an oil leak
(Todd Dies finds where CR42 ends accompanied with a train station.
He is forced to abandon his car and board a train
which he’s told will lead him home.)
