We never seen a stranger 'round here
Is it a mean streak, a desolation sound?
That was you there
I'd swear, I'd swear
A mean streak on a western swing
Was that you there?
After the stranger's been here, you'd swear you'd swear
We never seen a stranger 'round here
The way the dust clings to the air
And I'd swear I'd swear
A mean streak in the ghost state
Sssh sssh sound of the bottoms of their boots
As their hay wagon rolled past
Mean streak, you'd swear, you'd swear
Is it a mean streak to a certain degree?
After the stranger's been here
But you'd swear, you'd swear
A copy of desire oh nothing's that far down
Is it the way the dust clings to the air
It's the way that dust clings to the air
That that was you there
On TV saying the damnedest thing
After a stranger's been there, you'd swear, you'd swear
Was that you there?
Between the certain and the hesitating
A mean streak, you'd swear, you'd swear
They come whistling down the crookedest street
I'd swear I'd swear
It's the way the dust clings to the air
That was you there
That was you there
Was that you there?
On the tops of the grass
