lyrics

Verse 01:
A new house on a new street not a few feet it was a ways
By a few streets and a highway the trucked swayed as the trailer made
Its way to a place where I wouldn’t stay shoulda prayed for another day
Another year but we were here she was moving I was moving her
She was smiling I was blue big box small box one or two
Of this and that from a room she wouldn’t use
To this new room with new friends I couldn’t view
I knew some I didn’t know him
He was in the kitchen making food were we rude
He didn’t make a move he was polite
Surveyed the landscape she planned an escape
A date with fate I could she couldn’t wait

Chorus:
I wish I know where Riley went
I wish I'd known where Riley gone
I wish I know where Riley went
I wish I'd known where Riley gone
Where the fuck did Riley go?

Verse 02:
He was a small man I could handle with one hand if I had to
But psycho paths can be cupcakes and candles
Flannels, floppy hair, and wear Jesus sandals
I feared the worst as he cooked I pictured a scandal
I sized him up he wasn’t much
But it didn’t take a big punch to take her down she made a sound
Hey are you dreaming I snapped out of it
It was bed and dresser time I needed to find a helper
Guy cooking only leper so I had to ask him whatever
Hey can you uh this shits heavy can you manuever
These one uh or two items for a minute that’s how I met him
I said hi what’s your name kid he put his plate down became smiley
Turned to me and said kindly “Hi my name is Riley”

Chorus:
I wish I know where Riley went
I wish I'd known where Riley gone
I wish I know where Riley went
I wish I'd known where Riley gone
Where the fuck did Riley go?

Verse 03:
As we moved fumbled thru floors rounding corners dumbly thru doors
Where these chairs wasn’t made to be stored
We bonded on stairs prepared us for war
Up and down flights we talked and discussed
He was from a town not much farther from us
He was a good kid hardly a schmuck
Coulda been larger but a guy I could trust
We finished moving her in I was looking to leave
She was looking at me like I’m looking to breath
Beat I took a hint didn’t need it
Got my things and started to leave it
Riley thanks for the muscle I mean it
Take care of my cargo while I’m not needed
He said todays my last day here I’m leaving
Was I still breathing I must be dreaming

Chorus:
I wish I know where Riley went
I wish I'd known where Riley gone
I wish I know where Riley went
I wish I'd known where Riley gone
Where the fuck did Riley go?
