Fence Post

I'm really unclear why I'm here  
Has it been a year  
Since I held my Becky near  
 
My little girl says it is for the best  
And I deserve the rest  
Haven't seen her in a while  
Some days I can't remember her smile  
 
Just like fence posts  
We're lined up in row  
We're weathered and tethered  
Rusty wire are memories, stapled to our hearts  
Nothing but grass and weeds keep us apart  
You never notice as you drive by  
Like fence posts  
Like fence posts just left here to die  
 
I think about my life, the way it was before  
Only to find I'm trapped behind this glass door  
Like a goldfish in a bowl for the world to see  
Swimming in the waters of your soul, never to be free  
 
One day soon I'm going to head down this hill  
Walk pass the cedars with all I have to feel  
If I make pass those tracks  
I pray they will never take me back  
So I'll sit under this old oak tree  
In a field of stone with my Becky I want to be  
 
Just like fence posts  
We're lined up in row  
We're weathered and tethered  
Rusty wire are memories, stapled to our hearts  
Nothing but grass and weeds keep us apart  
You never notice as you drive by  
Like fence posts  
Like fence posts just left here to die
