Outskirts

	Light snow falling
	On the muffler shops and the lumber yards
	The streets are slick as glass
	Ditches lined with stranded cars
	The tow trucks are busy
	Dealing with the evening rush
	I might have picked a better day
	I probably shouldn't expect that much
	(I'm just) On the outskirts
	Of an old familiar town
	With a misty darkness coming down
	On the fringes
	Outside looking in
	She says Well now where you been
	Didn't expect you back again
	Trying to get out of the wind
	Are you now
	Standing on the doorstep
	Something doesn't feel the same
	Strange car in the driveway
	I guess I really can't complain
	I wonder should I even knock
	Or Just head out on my way
	And It's an awkward moment
	Staring at the floor
	Filling up the ashtray
	(½ chorus)
	Cold coffee
	Styrofoam cup from the Stop 'n go
	Throw it in the floorboard
	Catch the weather on the radio
	Freezing rain
	Continued on through the morning
	Travelers' advisory
	I'll give a little more warning next time

	Outside looking in

	Are you now
