KICKING THE CAN By Tom Jensen
This woman I’d been dating for nearly a year
Told me to get out with words so clear
Said her chains had been broken and she’s no longer bound
To me, former lover, getting outta town
Like seasons a’ changing love once so dear
I got no more magic in my hat as I disappear
Walking down the street carrying a big black bag
In it is everything I hold dear that I’ve ever had
Looking up at heaven trying to understand
Why I’m walking down the street just kicking this can?
I was wanting to travel
But this is not what I planned
