Halfway House
by Ryan Cassata

Will any of my friends be left when I grow old?
Well I don't know, I don't know
God’s been taking them all one by one
There must be some big job up there that needs to get done

 Well, my hometown's in a blackout
They taking turns down at the halfway house
And the crows, they never seem to wander on
I got my suit steamed and a candle
Another newspaper scandal and I’m gone
I’m getting too used to moving on

 Devil done stuck a needle in his arm
And there’s not enough Narcan to save his heart
And the rest of the boys seen crying in a line
Sad to say, we know it won’t be the last time

 Well, my hometown's in a blackout
They taking turns down at the halfway house
And the crows, they never seem to wander on
I got my suit steamed and a candle
Another newspaper scandal and I’m gone
I’m getting too used to moving on


God, if you can hear me
Well, if you listen clearly
I ain’t got much steam left
Well, it’s hard to lose another
To say goodbye to a brother
So God, if you can hear me, can I keep what's left?
God, if you can hear me, can you save his breath?
God, if you can hear me…

 Well, my hometown's in a blackout
They taking turns down at the halfway house
And the crows, they never seem to wander on
I got my suit steamed and a candle
Another newspaper scandal and I’m gone
I’m getting too used to moving on

 God, if you can hear me
If you listen clearly
Well, I ain’t got much steam left
And it’s hard to lose another
To say goodbye to a brother
So God, if you can hear me, can I keep what's left?
God, if you can hear me, save his breath
God, if you can hear me…
