Verse
F G The paint's stained on the Econoline
C FFrom the black blood of the butterflies
F G Who were fluttering side by side
C FWhen we smashed their wings, smashed their lives
F G C F Now the rosary swings. from the porch of the double wide
F G C F Strapped to the flatbed, oversized, out on 49
F G C F

Verse
F G C F Plastic flowers line this highway I ride
F G C F They don't smell like anything, but they never rot, never die
F G C F Illuminating the shoulders, carry inside the lines
F G C F Say a prayer every morning, then again at night
 
 
Chorus
F G C F Mama, I got dreams, and I'd give anything
F G C F For you to watch me dance or listen to me sing
F G C F In a world that kills, oh, I cannot sit still
F G C F Is it suicide if I die out chasing thrills?
F G C F G C F Just me trying to grow wings.
F G C F
 
 
 
Verse
F G C F In the morning I wake up, in the morning I rise
F G C F Putting on my makeup, powdering my eyes
F G C F And I may write a poem, I may make it rhyme
Dm G C F Where there are my friends, there are happy times
Dm G C F Where there is the wind, there are happy chimes
Dm G C F Where I meet my end, there I'll lay my life
Dm G C F Can't be too brave out here beneath the sky
F G C F Say a prayer every morning, then again at night
