Everyone Walks By

She said that sound
It’s the wind
Coming from the south
It’s moving in
I feel deep down
It’s one resounding sigh
Because heaven is a place on earth that everyone walks by
Hey Mama, Hey Mama, Hey
Everyone is moving away
Young man
Sing out on your stage
You look more like a bird in a cage
But if I listen close
I can hear you cry
Heaven is a place on earth that everyone walks by
Hey Mama, Hey Mama, Hey
Everyone is moving away
Bearded, homeless
Worn out clothes
How can you believe
This is what he chose
As I walk by
I read on his sign
Heaven is a place on earth that everyone walks by
Hey Mama, Hey Mama, Hey
Everyone is moving away
She’s down at the bar
Asking why
Bartender line me up
Whiskey gin and rye
I can’t drink this away
But I think I’ll try
Hey Mama, Hey Mama, Hey
Everyone is moving away
