Neal got out in 96
Worked the michigan plants on the straight, married jenny, lived in the sticks
Just getting by the best they can
Keeping a few steps ahead of where they began
At night, neal goes out to have a smoke
Out in the tiny yard under the giant oak
He takes a deep breadth and closes his eyes
And sighs
He prays
Give me something, give me something that i can feel
Give me something rеal
Neal says: “jenny evеryday when i walk out the door
I loose track of what it is i’m walking out the door for
When i punch my card i want to punch the wall
But i know that punch won’t do nothing at all
You see darling there is a dark fear in my heart sometimes
And voices in my head that i can’t trust
Maybe we can feel something real in starting over leaving this whole town in the dust
At night i trace my finger on a map from cape ann to bimini
From santa cruz to hampton bay
Close my eyes and drop my finger down on any dot along the way and i say
Give me something give me something that i can feel
Give me something real
Jenny says: “ maybe something real is what you already know
Whether you stay neal or whether you go
Maybe something real is wherever we call home
And if you let me in maybe i can make you feel less alone
Sure life gets hard and it’s not always fair
And there is injustice and b#llsh#t everywhere
But inside of us there is valley with a river bountiful and true
And if you let me in neal i will be waiting there for you
To make you feel something
Something beautiful and true
Feel something shiny and new
My love won’t let you down
Like this oak tree here i am planted on solid ground
And i am here to stay
Now neal’s eyes were locked up in a stare
Looking at jenny and the late day sun dancing on her hair
For a moment he felt a welling up inside but he choked it back and let it slide
“jenny when you are standing right in front of me
There is nowhere else in the world i need to be”
Then he smiled and walked inside
And jenny leaned on the giant oak tree
Said a silent prayer
Took a deep breadth
Closed her eyes
And sighed
