Pictures

Jumped off the porch and left the yard

Mama, you really must believe in God

Into the sky I stare, say the same old prayer

But Wayne is still out there somewhere

Look both ways before crossing, no talking to strangers

A shoestring from my sneakers held my house key

A minute goes by, now it's the past

I hope life is saving the best for last

When you breathe in the air, you are that city

I even thought cemeteries looked pretty

Just watching and weighing all my options

It ain't that many things that we can be

Looks like motion pictures

Staring out the window of the MARTA train

On an adventure

Then back home again

Looks just like pictures

Staring out the window of the MARTA train

It's an adventure

'Til I make it back home again

We are the wild ones, yes, we are

I can't believe his mom bought Mike a car

It makes me laugh when I look back at it

One dead, one in jail, one's a functioning addict

Live for the moment, here's my five on it

Standing around freestyling to the beat

To say, "It's not where you are from, is how you feel"

Well, come on, Jesus, and take the wheel

'Cause everything's been said already

And both your parents are dead already

We're all coming with you, so pass that liquor

The pictures are the only thing I get to keep

Life's like pictures

Staring out the window of the MARTA train

It's an adventure

'Til I get back home again

Like pictures

Staring out the window of the MARTA train

It's an adventure

Gonna break my heart again

I just go, I just go, I just go, I just go, oh

Until the train stops running

Don' look back and run

I just go, I just go, I just go, I just go, oh

Until the train stops running

Come on
