Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In my home town
For anyone who sticks around
You're either lost or you're found
There's not much in between
In my home town
Everything's still black and white
It's a long, long way from wrong to right
From Sunday morning to Saturday night
[Chorus]
Everybody just wants to get high
Sit and watch a perfect world go by
We're all looking for love and meaning in our lives
We follow the roads that lead us
To drugs or Jesus
[Instrumental]
My whole life
I've tried to run, I've tried to hide
From the stained glass windows in my mind
Refusing to let God's light shine
Down on me
Down on me
[Chorus]
Everybody just wants to get high
Sit and watch a perfect world go by
We're all looking for love and meaning in our lives
There's not much space between us
Drugs or Jesus, yeah
[Instrumental]
Everybody wants acceptance
We all just want some proof
Everyone's just looking for the truth
[Chorus]
Everybody just wants to get high
Sit and watch a perfect world go by
We're all looking for love and meaning in our lives
We follow the roads that lead us
To drugs or Jesus
[Outro]
To drugs or Jesus
Oh, I need ya, Jesus
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah
