The wake of jet skis touches the shores

Down past the brambles, rails, processing plant

Lies a river I could swim across

If I wanted to escape from Beaver

Escape to Monaca? You gotta be kidding

Where is my home sitting?

f ethnic. OAcross the Ohio up tree lined streets

Flat as Flatbush, charming as Park Slope

Travel the length towards Three Rivers

Back to Beaver where I take off my shoes

Lighten my load, mellow the blues

At the confluence of now and old age
