Historical Marker Songtext
historical marker up on the side of the road
please tell me something
something I didn't know like:

how did we get here?
what was the date? What was the year?
and do you think it would make a difference
if you were to uproot yourself and move away
'cause you would surely be back 'round here again someday
soon

and are you saying something
can I read your script
or, are you just a daily diary
for the only folks who can afford this

to tell their story
to plant their legacy in time
what kind of men were they
and what land did they find

did they have children
and were they kind to their wives
this metal holds the fabricated fabric of our lives

are you saying something
can I read your script
or, are you just a daily diary
for the only folks who can afford this
historical marker you need fortune teller
____(something)____
we'll falsely live on forever
