Lyrics

BLACKSBURG

Den Hollinden (ASCAP)

In Blacksburg she's countin' the days down.
It seems like everybody's the class clown
Givin' 'em somethin' to remember
'Til August or September
When she'll do it again.
She says there's somethin' about a school year together
That sure can make a summer feel like forever;
She'll miss the people she knows
And it's nearly time to go.

   Chorus
   Meanwhile here at home,
   We watch the TV and the telephone--
   Unable to breathe
   Unable to believe
   What's happening
   On that screen.
   This is agony.
   There's nothin' harder than uncertainty--
   The panicked sights
   The flashing lights
   A ringing phone.

She's ready to make that mad dash like a NASCAR star
Too much trash in a too-small car.
Gas it up with Daddy's credit card
And hit the highway.
She wants to drive away smilin' like a finish line winner
Tired of ramen noodles and TV dinners
Missin' Mom's home cookin'
And her lookin' like she's still our baby
That first hug in the driveway
At the end of the road
Just a little while away.

(repeat chorus)

And We know you're comin' home;
So, we'll leave the candle on.
