Anne McCue Save a Life lyrics

The pedal steel has been drinking
A man sinks in his chair
Like someone from the north
Been too long in the south
Banjos fill him with despair

You take a sip of emptiness
From a beer so light it floats
There's an echo through The Station Inn
Of olden days, of bliss and sin
It sends you to the bridge

Oooh, looking for a reason to save a life

A mosquito wants to drain you
One tiny drop at a time
Feel the sweat drip down your neck
As you reach for the light
You've measured out your life
In verses and choruses

You've been called a liar
You've never been a thief
But now you're standing on the bridge

Oooh, looking for a reason to save a life

It's always daylight somewhere
The thought keeps you afloat
There's no going back
There's no place called home
You didn't start this to be famous
You need to be free
Alleluia Freedom
Let your bells ring down on me

Oooh, looking for a reason to save a life
