Off You Go Lyrics

by Patty Griffin

Well he broke through the barrier and rode down the hill

A sound like thunder then everything stood still

Back home the widow wondered where he'd gone



In the evening the meadow sings without care

His eyes staring blankly up into the air

The cars far above him kept rolling along



Off you go into the summer

Off you go to the fall

You get tossed between the wicked and the wonder

Suddenly you stop feeling anything at all



Speed and alcohol the papers equated

For the record good judgement was not demonstrated

Rest assured this one was not drug related



Back home the young widow weeps and sighs

Explains to her kids how their daddy died

She closes the door to the room where he used to try



Off you go into the summer

Off you go to the fall

You got tossed between the wicked and the wonder

And suddenly you stop feeling anything at all



Well we all have occasion to slip on the path

Some get to pay for the aftermath

Some won't get another chance

to realize life has an ending



Well the widow moves on as the years progress

Starts her life over but never forgets

Down in the meadow there's darkness descending



Off you go into the summer

Off you go to the fall

You get tossed between the wicked and the wonder

And suddenly you stop feeling anything at all
