jonathan peyton - sally lyrics

Loading...

sally grew up in the belt of the bible
she’d spend her nights at the tent revival
her father would shout in tongues unknown
but not quite as loud as he did at home

her mother wore makeup to cover the truth
but not too much ’cause she might seduce
men are all filled with burning desire
they can cut out their eyes, be thrown in a fire

sally came home early one day
shе saw a red car driving away
she knew shе’d seen the bumper stickers before
but mama wasn’t coming home ’til 4

well that circle keeps breaking again and again
we’re all running around just trying to fix it
and the world continues to spin and spin
if we don’t slow down, might miss it all

sally was sitting in church one day
like a good girl, she had a smile on her face
but she overheard mama pray
“lord, we can’t go on this way”

later that night, sally lay sleeping
her mother wakes her up, she says, “come on, we’re leaving
pack up your things, but don’t make a sound
as soon as we leave, we won’t turn around”
but then her father came running through that front door
swinging his arms in the name of the lord
the neighbors heard the rustle and they called the cops
but how do you question the man of god?

well that circle keeps breaking again and again
we’re all running around just trying to fix it
and the world continues to spin and spin
if we don’t slow down, might miss it all

well, ten years later she was watching tv
when she recognized a voice coming from the screen
it was a man she once knew and he was shouting revival
but she’s a long way from home and she’s a fatherless child
yeah, she’s a long way from home and she’s a fatherless child
