lyrics

The Naper Vegas Scrabble Club

The Naper Vegas Scrabble Club
Meets every other week
In a three story yellow house
On a quiet shady street

I’m going home - home today
Well, let me tell ya, man, this place has changed
This place has changed

She studies her tiles for hours,
He descends like a starving man
Smiles come over weathered skin,
And aching shaking hands

Everybody knows what’s comin’,
But they still act surprised
It doesn’t matter who you are,
You never have enough time

I’m going home - home today
Well, let me tell you man, this place has changed
I’m going home, I’m going home, I’m going home
Today….this place has changed

When it rains, they ride the bus
Otherwise, they drive
Coming to a four-way stop
Searching for a sign

All that's thought or been forgot
Dangles on the trees
Where words fit perfect on the board
Free of life's tragedies

I’m going home, home today
Let me tell ya, man, this place has changed
