Stumbled on a busker while headed for the west bound train
Sounded so familiar, said her name was Sara Jane
And she grew up not far from me in the hills of Tennessee
I don't quite recall what compelled me to leave my state
I'll give you stats and economics but I can't articulate
How I got lost in the urban sprawl
Lost my southern drawl
Sing my soul Sara Jane
'Cause I don't even know my own name
And carry me home in your guitar case
With some Amazing Grace
She grew up in a hollow where the ridge was the edge of the world
Dreamed of climbing over since she was a little girl
To take a road trip and see the sights
With her best friend Jesus Christ
I used to call him but I can't get his signal round here
Out in the country he used to come in so clear
Now God's a philosophy written on my tin of Chai tea
I don't know what I mean but I know my lines
Chapter and verse from the New York Times
I follow street lights sidewalks and cars
But I turned out the stars
Sing my soul Sara Jane
'Cause I don't even know my own name
I wanna throw my arms up at it all
I wanna come down for an altar call
Welcome me back to the human race with some Amazing Grace
