lyrics

Off 57 through the north end of town
I see they tore that old farm house down
Those streets were not here last time
New Dunkin’ Donuts, and another for sale sign
I think I’ve been gone too long
Something’s been going on...

Old Mr. Brown died about six months back
His son sold the land to two men in a Cadillac
Bradey’s shop closed up since 1994
Pop machine rusty and a padlock on the door
I think I’ve been gone too long
Something’s been going on...

Grandpa you weren’t so skinny last time
Your great grand baby was just crawling last time
We used to know each car that passed by
Seems like the stars burned brighter those nights
I think I’ve been gone too long
Something’s been going on...

Back on 57 through the north end of town
Wonder what you’ll be like next time I come around
I think I’ve been gone too long
I think I’ve been gone too long
Something’s been going on...

Jacob Mau Chicago, Illinois

Jacob Mau spins compelling stories of misfit people and misplaced landscapes oft overlooked by others, and ignored by history. As this year's winner of Chicago's longest-running open mic competition, hosted annually by Uncommon Ground, he is clearly a standout among the city's best singer-songwriters. Good things await this young musician."
