lyrics

SOMEONE LIKE ME

My radio dial is stuck on the Jesus station
Through the late night static I hear all the talk about salvation
But I ain’t worried about my eternal destiny
Cause someone like Jesus ain’t got time for someone like me

Chorus

Someone like me who’s at home in the darkness
On an old blacktop highway
Someone like me who’s made peace with sleeping alone
Someone like me who’s worn out and weary
From wondering every day
Why so many hearts are as hard as polished stone

******

I write you letters in my scratchy old long hand
But they come back unopened bound in a brown rubber band
I know you’ve got places to go and people to see
And someone like you ain’t got time for someone like me (Chorus)

BRIDGE

Summer’s gone and the nights are getting cold
These days I swear I feel a million years old
I try to follow the signs along the road
But they’re rusted out -- and full of buckshot holes

******

Through a dirty windshield from the corner of my eye
I see the milestones and fence posts go flashing by
I pretend not notice but it ain’t no mystery
This world is turning too fast for someone like me (Chorus)
