PICTURE IN MY WALLET
There’s a picture in my wallet
I carry around with me
I had eyes wide open
I could see, I could think, but could not speak
There’s a blue car in the drive
Brand new chevy, ’85
I’m in the arms of my mother
She’s trying to stop the cryin’
Time - watch it slip away
The news is full of sadness, injustice and trash
It makes me itch inside like a soul-infected rash
You might have me think life is better on the earth
Better than heaven, or the womb before your birth
Keeping it together is the game you have to learn
Many will succeed - many crash and burn
But the best that you can do is stand tall and stay firm
Yeah and try to play your cards right when it comes to your turn
Time - watch it slip away
