about

You can never go home and the monetary and political forces that change the face of what was once home.

lyrics

I pulled into my old town
To revisit the lost and revisit the found
Caddies and Beamers race on the highway
Looking for thrills and the next payday
I tip my hat and say good luck, while saying to myself, how much is enough?

I went to the gym to burn calories
I watched the elite strut pedigrees
Turning up their IPods, turning up their nose
Running around in super hero pantyhose
Well congratulations, you look all buff, but then again how much is enough?

In an age of unbridled greed, what are the wants and what are the needs?
Should your name be in neon or maybe gold?
You'd better check the portfolio, then go check the billfold, because how much is enough?

I sought refuge amongst the trees
You know that arboretum wasn't free
Remodeled since the days of my youth
Remodeled even at the toll booth
And the trees they silently said to me, how much is enough?
