Mailbox Songtext
von Owen Riegling

Everybody knows there′s somethin' in the water
Underneath the Otter Creek bridge at the bottom
Everybody knows if you′re driving after midnight
Keep your eyes up, deer in a headlight

If you don't wanna die all alone
Give your heart to a girl, turn a house to a home
Put your name on the mat by the door
Leave the spare key on the floor

Moved away in a dream
Woke up in a cold sweat
I'm too old to leave
Or too young, I forget

There′s a pine tree on either side of my old man′s driveway
Right next to a No. 3 Highway
And a bent-up mailbox letter with my name

Everybody's got their special kinda problem
Everybody ain′t gonna find a way to solve 'em
Me I′ve spent most nights in the car
Wishin' I was home with my dog in the yard


And the funny thing my folks don′t know
I ain't updated to my new P.O.
My mail still gets sent to their door
Just so I can go and see them more

Moved away in a dream
Woke up in a cold sweat
I'm too old to leave
Or too young, I forget

There′s a pine tree on either side of my old man′s driveway
Right next to a No. 3 Highway
And a bent-up mailbox letter with my name

With my name

I know it ain't much
I know it′s been too long
But I just had to tell ya
So I put it in a song
And I know it ain't much
I just hope it reaches home

Moved away in a dream
Woke up in a cold sweat
I′m too old to leave
Or too young, I forget


There's a pine tree on either side of my old man′s driveway
Right next to a No. 3 Highway
And a bent-up mailbox letter with my name
