LEFTOVER SHOPPING CART

There you are
In the parking lot Sun
Bent back wheel
Little rust
Half-run
Pushed so far
Then your story got cut
Receipt still curled
In the child seat slot

I'm a leftover shopping cart
Waiting where they left my heart (hey!)
Halfway home
Halfway forgot
Rolling in this yellow spot
If they come back
I'll pretend
They just took the long way ‘round again
I'm a leftover shopping cart
Trying not to fall apart

Kids rode you
Like a crooked parade
Rain filled up
Every dent
Every scrape
You watched shoes
Walk past
Never slow
Stuck between
Letting go
Being towed

I'm a leftover shopping cart
Waiting where they left my heart
Halfway home
Halfway forgot
Rolling in this yellow spot
If they come back
I'll pretend
They just took the long way ‘round again
I'm a leftover shopping cart
Trying not to fall apart
