300 letters in the sea
never to be seen
and never to be heard from

until they washed up on the jersey shore
tired and soaked through
and long overdue
for their reviews

but Grady Cooper isn't home
Grady Cooper isn't home
he packed his bags and bought a 
one-way ticket home

from their scarlet grave
and dove off steel pier
before the auctioneers arrived

and under double-decker carousels
I read them one by one
they were sent from someone
who didn't know that dear old

Grady Cooper isn't home
Grady Cooper isn't home
he packed his bags and bought a
one-way ticket home
