Kitty Winn

We got married in September
The baby came the next December
So I got off the road
It's the longest I've been home
since I remember
I wake up earlier these days
to dress the kid & fix her eggs
Then we'll walk down to the park
if it's nice out
There's a swing set where she plays
I'm not out looking for something
I haven't found
You won't see me around
I've got a family now
I used to drive all night no stopping
like a Batman with no Robin
& then sometimes around dawn
I'd wake up with my seatbelt on
to some cop knocking
I've seen a lot of wrecks & burnouts
& nights the crowds just didn't turn out
& I've drunk myself so ill
& nearly gotten myself killed
more times than I would care to count
I'm not out looking for something
I haven't found
You won't see me around
I've got a family now
I watched The Exorcist again
& recognized Kitty Winn
from The Panic At Needle Park
with Al Pacino
She played his girlfriend
It felt like seeing an old friend
the way I wondered where she'd been
As I sat & pet the cat
with my wife's head on my lap
on the sofa in the den
I'm not out looking for something
I haven't found
You won't see me around
I've got a family now
