Song 62

lyrics

Driving down south, I’ve got the windows open
The radio’s on, but I can’t hear it playing
Church is on the right, across from a run down school yard
The wind in my is ear telling me keep on driving

Open your hymnal, there’s a song that we used to sing
On Sunday mornings we’d raise our voices every one
And turn our backs on what we didn’t want to believe
I still remember the song

Do or die, just don’t ask the preacher why
He singled me out for special attention
I was confused, was it just a game he’s playing
I wish he had stopped before it went too far

Years went by, I tried to keep my distance
Some things fade, some burn brighter
Drive away, it’s all that I can think of
Maybe then I’ll think of something better.
