lyrics

mother mary stands as i drive by
maybe someone sleeps by her side
rusted grass sky scraping pines
scorched with cigarettes and too much sunlight
ooh you’re a part of me
we taste copper blood from the street

man sits propped against his bike
thoughts choke the time that wasn’t right
highlighter marks the weekly classified
you can see the pain under his eyes
ooh you spoke to me
with his dirty hands and dirty jeans

chorus
stranger sing along
on the strangest sidewalk

bumper sticker read
make love not war
on a station wagon with rust under the doors
kids sit backwards in the car
borrow their life so i can play guitar
ooh i’ll write the sweetest line
for the city that saved my sight

you’re on life
last second turn
at the traffic light
walk by
live life
i only know mine
i only know mine
