Call me what you want but don't call me friend
This river don't flow for you away it bends
'Cause you always loved them damn stream trains
Rushing straight lines like a woman to fame
Ash, maple, oak, they all burn the same
Just a fire light dance and smoke in the rain
But I know you the way I know a flame
As long as the wick can bear its name
See-saw and the valley road
Burn up my engine then let it roll
Cause you are all lightning heat
You burn up the sky then a damp cold sheet
Saginaw you know me best
River thaw, spring in my chest
I'm drowning in you
Slam the door and cut the line
Hear what you want and live that lie
Oh go believe what you want it's the easiest way
The way the crow flies it never strays ...
Just straight lines
Beat my bones and rattle my song
You know I sing with wounded lungs
But I'll sing for you a bird in May
Listen to my words or fly away
