historical marker marker - steve everett lyrics
[intro]
yeah, [?], hey, yeah
[verse 1]
historical marker marker, i ain’t made of brick or stone
just a thin brown sheet of metal bolted to a long gray pole
i’ve never seen the battlefield my brother’s plaque describes
i just stand up straight and pray that travelers take the time
[chorus]
and hey someday, i hope my letters fade
and oh, my bolt comes loose and turns my face
and i don’t need the glory or the fame
i’d just love to feel a brand new coat of paint
and a healing hand to set me back up straight
yeah, set me back up straight
[verse 2]
historical marker marker
there ain’t weather i ain’t seen
or a single make and model burnin’ oil and gasoline
it’s been a couple thousand days since
i was forged, and cooled, and shaped and
brought here and hammered into place
[chorus]
and hey someday, i hope my letters fade
and oh, my bolt comes loose and turns my face
and i don’t need the glory or the fame
i’d just love to feel a brand new coat of paint
and a healing hand to set me back up straight
yeah, set me back up straight
[bridge]
and every time it rains i fear for every driver passing here
and the crashes break my heart
and i pretend that speeding cars
are meteors and shooting stars
when their headlights break the dark, oh
[chorus]
and hey someday, i hope my letters fade
and oh, my bolt comes loose and turns my face
and hey someday, i hope my letters fade
and oh, my bolt comes loose and turns my face
and i don’t need the glory or the fame
i’d just love to feel a brand new coat of paint
and a healing hand to set me back up straight
yeah, set me back up straight
