He Will Not Be Going Back

He will not be going back to the old country town
Where the creek from the foothills in waters of brown
Babbles towards the big river towards the sea far away
It flows on forever by night and by day
With twin year old daughters and an urban raised wife
It looks like he is in the big city for the rest of his life
In suburbia quite happy since he has settled down
Where there are far more job opportunities than in the small town
In his mid twenties and in his physical prime
One can say he is on the right side of time
He works as a steel fixer and earns good pay
And it looks like he is in suburbia to stay
Sturdy and fit looking with hair of light brown
The handsome young man from the far away town.
