Denton Road - 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
