State Champion - Just An Answer lyrics

Jan was a cross turned upside down She would hang like a thunder in the sky I only kissed a few gals in this town My dad still calls me wondering why But I've been half asleep since sundown Half awake since Sunday night And I don't think I have an answer For the good ones in my life (We had a few things to get right) So we stuck around town until we got bored We traded James Brown for the same ol' Lord And packed our backpacks full of four hundred miles of road We stumbled through our teens toward a bus That took us through Cabrini Green to the bars Where the babes throw up on piles of gold and yea I know A pile of gold ain't going to get you to the land Where the light from your babysitter's cigarette goes It may someday Lord But I've been half asleep since sundown I've been half awake since Sunday night And I forgot which road crosses which road Where to meet my man to get my money right So I crawled back into the graveyard Where I woke this morning shoveling up the day And I whispered to the body by me that I dig her But don't love her in that way 'Cause I got folks to pay and other folks to say The things that got me feeling mixed up And I got other folks to pay and my friends to say "Hey man I heard you got your dick s**ed" Hallelujah Had an angel cut my hair off And a landlord put a price out on my head And the New York Times didn't come today But I heard my older brother say that "God is dead" And my sister said that she heard the same And then my mother came and she put us all to bed So turn out the lights so early tonight Under the covers we would go searching For an answer for the good ones in our lives Tiny dancer I ain't looking for a wife Just an answer for the good ones in our lives Just an answer for the good ones left tonight
