From the recording Walking in on America

Lyrics

Crazy Sara lives alone
 
With nothing but a house full of cats
 
No one knows how old she is
 
And everybody’s too afraid to ask
 
The coffee shop is always full
 
Young girls come to write their poetry
 
Here in any town America
 
Things are never what they seem to be
 
Pauls at the magnolia tree
 
Sipping on a pint of Muscatel
 
Says somewhere along the way
 
I guess my dreams got lost in the mill
 
Preacher’s walking down the street
 
Muttering to God under his breath
 
And the cops are at the diner
 
Cause there just ain’t nobody to arrest
 
Scenes from the highway
 
Life’s beautiful tapestry
 
It’s enough to make you wish
 
There were more lives to live
 
On this never ending road
 
Edith keeps a garden
 
And never really has that much to say
 
Her husband disappeared a year ago
 
 
 
The neighbors think it might have been foul
play
 
Carlota runs the records store and wears the
shortest mini skirts in town
 
You know the girls don’t really like her cause
their boyfriends are always hanging around
