Strange Religion

Can you stay here next to me?

We'll just keep drivin'

Because of you I see a light

The Buick's a century, 73 like you

Some strange religion

I get my hands on some money, Momma

An' a shot in the night

Stared down the past an' just scarred my eyes

Now, I know there's no easy ride

She's been the kind who would take it in stride

Some jack of diamonds kicked her heart around

Did they know they were walkin' on holy ground?

Almost called it a day, so many times

Didn't know what it felt like to be alive

Till you been a friend to me, like nobody else could be

Keep my hands on the wheel now, Momma

I gonna honestly try

She looked past the scars an' the burned out eyes

An' could see I'm no easy ride

She's just the kind who might get you to buy

Some strange religion

This jack of diamonds kicked her heart around

Should 'ave known they were walkin' on holy ground

This life might eventually

Just be the end of me

Will I still be with you?

Get in next to me, just keep driving

'Cause of you I been alive

And this Buick's a century, 73 like you

Some strange religion

And this Buick's a century, 73 like you

Some strange religion
