The Favorite Son

a little town with little chains
you paid the debt of circumstance
you wanna disappear
there's a boy, a favorite son
he settled down, that''s what's done
when you come from here
you were someone's daughter only yesterday
now you have a family of your own
and its over now
to hold and look
the furniture is rearranged
no discussion just exchanging
pleasantries with the favorite son
the man of nearly twenty years
hoping love will reappear someday
its just another game
the same things that you'll regret
nothing more than idle threats
you can see right through
every town has a favorite son
a fantasy of being with one
your dream come true
a quiet little town would be the new ___
queen of homecoming on her own
and its over now
to hold and look
the furniture is rearranged
no discussion just exchanging
pleasantries with the favorite son
the man of nearly twenty years
hoping love will reappear someday
Their favorite son
the one and only
he'll always be the one
your one and only
he's their favorite son
the one and only
he'll always be the one
your one and only
Favorite...
and its over now
but you hold and look
____ rearranged
facilitating then exchanging pleasantries
with the favorite son
this malady of thirty years
hoping harmony appear someday
its just another day
its just another game
another day
