Kitty Winn - Advance Base

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 sometime 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 got 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
