Lyric Hard to make a stand

(Todd Wolfe, R. Scott Bryan, Sheryl Crow and Bill Botrell)

Old James Dean Monroe

Hands out flowers at the Shop-n-Go

Hopes for money

But all he gets is fear

And the wind blows up his coat

And this he scribbles on a purfume note:

"If I m not here, then you re not here."

And he says:

"Call me Miscreation,

I m a walking celebration."



Chorus:

And it s hard to make a stand

Hard to make a stand

Hard to make a stand

Hard to make a stand



My friend, oh lawdy

Went to take care of her own body

She got shot down in the road

She looked up before she went

Said, "This isn t really what I meant."

And the daily news said:

"Two with one stone."

And I say, "Hey there, Miscreation,

Bring a flower, time is wasting."



Chorus



We got loud guitars and big suspicions

Great big guns and small ambitions

We still argue over who is God

And I say, "Hey there, Miscreation,

Bring a flower, time is wasting."

I say, "Hey there, Miscreation,

We all need a revelation."



Chorus
