Shriners Park Lyrics by Melissa Etheridge

Shriners Park Lyrics

    I wonder what you're doing
    In the night out there
    Is a sad summer breath tangled in your hair
    Can you hear the lonely engines
    Screaming through the town
    There's no where to run
    When the darkness comes down

    Is there a song inside of you
    That you tried to forget
    Like your fake ID and your mom's cigarettes
    Does it take you back
    Is the vision intense
    You and me in Shriner's Park
    Trying to make some sense

    You were just seventeen
    But your laughter was mild
    You liked my dreams you thought I was wild
    Is there a rhythm in your step now
    That reminds you of a dance
    Do you push it all away
    Cause you never took the chance

    You'd sneak out your window
    When I'd come for you
    I'd be waiting in the street light on 8th Avenue
    You'd slip into my car
    We'd drive down past the fence
    You and me in Shriner's Park
    Trying to make some sense

    Did you feel like you were crazy
    When they sent you far away
    Did no one have the answers
    When you hung your head to pray
    You could not let yourself dream
    Never dare believe
    You could ever be more
    Than you were born to be

    Do you lock up your house
    Like you locked up your past
    If I were to call
    Could you free me at last
    Could you slip into my car
    Could we drive down past the fence
    You and me in Shriner's Park
    Trying to make some sense
