aimee mann & michael penn - reason to believe lyrics

[verse 1: michael penn]
seen a man standing over a dead dog
down by the highway in a ditch
he’s looking down kind of puzzled
poking that dog with a stick
got his car door flung open
he’s standing out on highway 31
like if he stood there long enough
that dog’d get up and run

[chorus: michael penn]
struck me kind of funny
seemed kind of funny, sir, to me
still at the end of every hard day
people find some reason to believe

[verse 2: aimee mann & michael penn]
now, mary lou loved johnny
with a love mean and true
she said, “baby, i’ll work for you every day
and bring my money home to you”
one day, he up and left her
and ever sincе that
she waits down at the end of that dirt road
for young johnny to comе back
[chorus: aimee mann & michael penn]
struck me kinda funny
funny, yeah, indeed
how at the end of every hard+earned day
you can find some reason to believe

[verse 3: aimee mann & michael penn]
take a baby to the river
kyle william, they called him
wash the baby in the water
take away little kyle’s sin
in a whitewashed shotgun shack
an old man passes away
take the body to the graveyard
and over him they pray

[chorus: aimee mann & michael penn]
lord, won’t you tell us
tell us, what does it mean?
at the end of every hard+earned day
people find some reason to believe

[verse 4: aimee mann & michael penn, michael penn]
congregation gathers
down by the riverside
preacher stands with his bible
groom stands waiting for his bride
congregation gone
the sun sets behind a weeping willow tree
groom stands all alone and watches
the river rush on effortlessly
[chorus: aimee mann & michael penn]
wondering where can his
baby be
still at the end of every hard+earned day
people find some reason to believe
