Letra de Broken Mandolin

[Verse 1]
Garage door's dented from delivery vans
This used to be a shop where you could turn in your tin cans
Now flowers grow up in the sidewalk
Like they can see and hear and talk the talk and walk the walk
[Refrain]
Gave an earthy shining to the midday sun, stopped to grin
At the music he was playin' on his broken mandolin
[Verse 2]
Three dollars to five you've got to spend some real money
The prices keep goin' up, but they never get me where I'm going
Stocked up on old cigarettes
Neighborhood morning meets the day's regret
[Refrain]
Gave an earthy shining to the midday sun, stopped to grin
At the music he was playin' on his broken mandolin
[Verse 3]
"Never stop dreaming" says the can of spray paint
I used to go to church on Sundays 'cause I love to hear them sing
Paint the walls with the blood of the Lamb
Don't know about all that killing - that's not who I am
[Refrain]
Gave an earthy shining to the midday sun, stopped to grin
At the music he was playin' on his broken mandolin
[Verse 4]
I'm out here every day like a business man
It's a big ol' world, gonna run you as fast as it can
There are some things I've done I'd like to forget
There are some good things I'd like to do I haven't got to yet
[Refrain]
Gave an earthy shining to the midday sun, stopped to grin
At the music he was playin' on his broken mandolin
