Denton Road Lyrics - Singles - Michael Penn

I've heard people say they've come for miles 

To pay their due respects 

(for mileage, each expects). 

"A pillar of community and style". 

"At heart, a family man 

Who'd had a change of plan". 

Goodbye Sally, Simi Valley, 

Denton Road, The Roosevelt Hotel 

For my own farewell 

And if you don't show, that's fine. 

What's it say about me that I'm bored? 

Don't need another speech 

To know I'm out of reach. 

Someone made a joke about the lord 

And somehow it relates 

To a dash between the dates. 

Goodbye Sally, Simi Valley, 

Denton Road, The Roosevelt Hotel 

For my own farewell 

And if you don't show, that's fine. 

I don't expect you to. 

You've got other things to do 

In a life I now know that I never really knew. 

The light are going out. They shut the lid. 

I guess I lost the thread. 

I'm in over my head. 

Goodbye Sally, Simi Valley, 

Denton Road, The Roosevelt Hotel 

For my own farewell 

And if you don't show, that's fine. 

For my own farewell 

And if you don't show, that's fine.
