Stone Strangers - Familiar Tune Lyrics

Mystery man on the side of the street
With his right foot down in wet concrete
He looks up to the sky with his hands in the air
He curses the big man way upstairs
He says, "Maybe I should die before I wake
But my soul no it ain't for the lord to take"
Mr. Professor was walking the beat
Going left foot, left foot, two left feet
'Cause he's always got everything else on his mind
So he went to the dean and politely resigned
He said, "I don't want to live my life asleep
And my soul's the only thing I gotta keep"
The Marlboro Man has been at it again
'Cause he put down the gun and got back on the train
He's standing outside but he can't ring the bell
'Cause so much has changed since their last farewell
So I guess he'll go down to the old saloon
He'll be whistling that old familiar tune
