Lyrics Junkyard - Kathy Mattea

Junkyard

Saw a movie where a guy
Kills another guy- twice
Don’t know if I can forget about it
Saw a guy finish a fight
With a butcher knife- slice
Pretty sure I won’t forget about it
Is it okay- if I say
My heart is not a junkyard
My mind is not a dump for all the gunk around
My spirit’s not a junkyard
No, it’s Holy ground
Saw a photo on the net
Can’t believe that I’ve seen
Don’t know if I can forget about it:
Two kids were playin' in some dirt
That’ll never come clean
Wish to God I could forget about it
No one’s safe 'til we all say
My heart is not a junkyard
My mind is not a dump for all the gunk around
My spirit’s not a junkyard
No, it’s Holy ground
Wanna keep- keep the temple clean
Gotta keep- keep the temple clean
Tryin' to keep- keep the temple clean
How do I keep the temple clean?
A vicious rumor went around
Wrecked my Uncle John’s life
Guess he never could forget about it
No one’s safe 'til we all say
My heart is not a junkyard
My mind is not a dump for all the gunk around
My spirit’s not a junkyard
No, it’s Holy ground
