The Elkhart Truth

Same news. Different Day.

A mom and dad got into a shouting match at the crack of dawn
She threw his clothes all over the front lawn
The son snuck out to clean them up quick as he could
But not before the paperboy hit the neighborhood

Same news different day
A dad leaves a mom cries
Another lie another drink
To hell with all his neckties
Could he possibly have more?
Dammit all they're going out the door
Same news different day
And the paperboy just rides away

The Elkhart Truth hit the porch with a thwack and landed
Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Boy caught red golf shirt handed
The son gathered them all and hurried inside
Sat against the mom's closed bedroom door while she cried

Same news different day
A dad leaves a mom cries
Another lie another drink
To hell with all his neckties
Could he possibly have more?
Dammit all they're going out the door
Same news different day
And the paperboy just rides away

The weather page here's always the same
Thunderstorms with heavy showers
All day and through the night
Into the early hours
No relief in sight

Same news different day
A dad leaves a mom cries
Another lie another drink
To hell with all his neckties
Could he possibly have more?
Dammit all they're going out the door
Same news different day
And the paperboy just rides away
And the paperboy just rides away
And the paperboy just rides away
