Lyrics and translation
Original
Jumped off the porch and left the yard. Mama, you really must believe in God.
And to the sky I stare, say the same old prayer.
My Wayne is still out there somewhere. Look both ways before crossing, no talking to strangers.
A shoestring from my sneakers held my house key.
One 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.
There 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 Michael 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 a stock wave 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 is 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.
Break my heart again.
Don't look back, just run.
It's where the train stops running.
Come on!
