Three Towns Over

///*****/// ///Three Towns Over ///Lyrics © 2026 Joshua Sloan ///Kindness Matters Music Productions ///*****/// [Verse 1 | Male Vocal] They found her by the treeline in October I was three towns over, that's what I told 'em I came to in a field with the frost coming up And my boots in the truck a mile back I could hear every leaf come down that night And I laid there and I listened [Chorus | Male Vocal] They keep saying the killer must have been a monster I keep my eyes down and I nod They've never said a truer word all year And I've never said a word [Verse 2 | Male Vocal] Her coat's still on the hook by the door She'd leave the porch light on for me on the late nights I keep that room shut so it still smells like her The dog won't come in while I'm in it He was hers Now he sleeps out in the cold and I let him [Chorus | Male Vocal] They keep saying the killer must have been a monster I keep my eyes down and I nod They've never said a truer word all year And I've never said a word [Bridge | Male Vocal] The women brought casseroles, they held my hands They said a prayer over me and I bowed my head And I let them, and I let them Kitchen curtain's been blowing since the last hard frost I never did fix that latch I don't know that I'm going to [Verse 3 | Male Vocal] The moon comes through the window over the sink And there's a calendar on the wall beside it I circled a night, and I've circled each one since And I'm awake for all of them I could have taken it down I've had all winter [Final Chorus | Male Vocal | opens slightly] They keep saying the killer must have been a monster I keep my eyes down and I nod They've never said a truer word all year And I've never said a word [Outro | Male Vocal | quiet, almost spoken] I circled another night on the wall Tonight I'll be three towns over [Outro | lone muted trumpet holds one unresolved note | slow fade] [End]
