Maria Mckee People In The Way
It's a shame about your sister
She looks older than God
I guess the prom king missed her
When she gave up the cause
It's a pain to remember
But a strain to forget
Should've gone on a bender
Gotten out of my head
Ma, tell your kids every day
We're all just people in the way
Hey, you're looking me over
Do I still make a splash
Did the intrepid rover
Bottom out with panache
And the keys to the city
Were my ticket outside
And I used to dream pretty
Now I dream I'm alive
Ma, tell your kids every day
We're all just people in the way
And I don't know what to tell you
'Cause I don't know what I believe
I've been beaten down and pimped around and told so
many things
And I'm deafened by the (dark)
And the cryin' of my face
I'm looking for a day job in a town that wished me fame
Gather 'round little dreamers
Hey wherever you are
You were a wink in a streamer
Of a party of stars
(When) I banked it on lucky
And he banked it on me
(Then) you don't have to trust me,
(Or gonna) be what you'll be
Ma, tell your kids every day
We're all just people in the way
Out of place and in the way
