lyrics

Opened up your arms to the sky
Goddamn did the rain pour down
You can write your dreams on paper, babe
Thank your good Lord that you're alive
But God Almighty ain't no savior
And Lord knows, paper don't fly
Paper don't fly, paper don't fly

Calling out from a phone booth downtown
Telling me that you're lost and found
Come on home, baby, come on back to me
You must be soaked, and the thunder's loud
I'll take the toll road back through Jersey
Seven hours of rain, but I'm homeward bound
Homeward bound, I'm homeward bound

Who would've known that I'd be headed back North
Me and the good Lord with you calling our names
Maybe it hit you again, that need to lift up from the earth
Good God, how could I expect you to know?

Found you on a porch in Mystic
Outside the church where they were singing hymns
Wrapped up in your best friend's sweater
Crying like to atone for your sins
With the remnants of last night's liquor
A motel King James and your Gravel Street Blues,
Your Gravel Street Blues, Gravel Street Blues
