I Hope They Call Me on a Mission

Where I come from, there are no lights when the sun goes down Light up a fire and watch the embers fall from the ground Where I once lived, all the crossroads intersect Everybody waits their turn, they've all got kids to protect A glass of water, a smoke free room Up early at morning, at your door at noon A pen and paper, a first edition Four dollars a day, I hope they call me on a mission You never loved me, and I found that out alone When you could have told me, you could have saved me from going home But home is gone now, it's a valley with no sun The mountains shadow everything and everyone A glass of water, a smoke free room Up early at morning, at your door at noon A pen and paper, a first edition Four dollars a day, I hope they call me on a mission A glass of water, a smoke free room Up early at morning, at your door at noon A pen and paper, a first edition Four dollars a day, I hope they call me on a mission
