Casey's sleeping in the dirt Mud is caked onto her skirt But the sun is beating down So she needs the cool soft ground Casey runs around the yard Wishing that she could go far Split this town and catch a train Would we hear from her again Now she's unlocked the back gate Finally she has escaped While her parents are asleep She hits the concrete with her feet Doesn't know where she will go And suddenly she misses home Stops when she reaches the tracks Breathes in deep and then turns back Casey knows that she's still fast But maybe not like summers past Runs from all that she's been told But does she know she's getting old Casey's yelling at the breeze Scared her when it hit the trees She's just just nervous from her dream Hears a knock then screams and screams Now she's unlocked the back gate One last time she has escaped Her parents follow down the street Begging Casey come back please Doesn't know where she will go But she knows she can't go home Over fences and through lawns Til her silhouette is gone Til her silhouette is gone Til her silhouette is gone Casey when will you come home Casey when will you come home
