Lyrics for 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
