[Verse 1]
You are crouched before the fire
In a state park by the highway
And through the heavy pine trees
Ten-ton trucks go groaning by
Like the screams of your Aunt Barbara
Who went crazy in the '70's
Wrote poems to Jimmy Carter
But forgot to feed her kids
But, it's the first time you're together
Since he got out of the hospital
Raccoons in the darkness
Drag off your hot dog buns
But, you're happy just to lie there
In your plastic tent from Wal-Mart
Like sticks and fallen dead leaves
To feed the fire of the world
[Verse 2]
Because which is more important
To comfort an old woman
Or see visions of the heavens
In the stumps of fallen trees?
