6 days

the sun beats down on our little college town
it's been shining here for days
the rain comes in the evening hours
and we all wake up in a haze

but how i long for the riverside
at home and on the lake
the channel and the sixth street dam
for a yesterdog, i ache

a beat up guitar and a cheap bottle of wine
the state park's beautiful at sunset
cross another day off, it's just a matter of time
we'll be there before we know it

but now it's back to merrill hall
and my messy old dorm room
but do me a favor and smile, babe?
we'll be in grand haven soon.
