Find a way (Terry Murphy)
~ A series of short stories about helping each other make a place in the world~

Man walkin’ fast on the east side of Milwaukee
Wearin’ a long black leather coat
It’s a Saturday night and he’s headin’ down Farwell
But he’s got no place to go
Ducks into Shank Hall just to warm his fingertips
But it’s a 5-dollar cover and he just might lose his grip

Find a way boy….find a way man
Find a way boy…find a way man

Guy sittin’ at the casino table north of the tension line
He just won 14 dollars and you know he’s feelin’ fine
Whiskey runnin’ through his body and it’s called Indian blood
That man’s so damn happy cuz he thinks he’s got it so good

We’re all earth riders
And fly by nighters
We’re gonna make it through each day
We need confiders
and stand be siders
to help each other find a way

She drives her daddy’s euro with the sunroof open wide

Got a country station decal plastered to his window sill
A pick up truck with a tape deck player and a seat a t the corner ba
