Salvation Army
by Mark Mathis

Album: Public Radio

you got a lot to prove
when you're on your own
a long way from home
with a scar from a fight

that nearly took your life
some dumb girl that left
a hole in your chest
last saturday night

red letter day
when your mom remarried
everyone faked they were happy
but you got too much of your dad in you
a sense of truth you didn't ask for

telephone rang and it was truth
told me all the good things i was about to lose
telephone rang and it was love
he said 'you should do the good things that you been thinking of'

and you have saved me from these waters
you have saved me from these cold cruel waters

did the electric slide
with some boy you loved
who never thought of you

you live a secret life
as if to say
you are ashamed
well you shouldn't be
