String of Pearls Year: 2007 | Run Time: 4:23

Written by Bill Mallonee for CyBrenJoJosh (BMI)

hanging out your thumb and life on the line
trying to flag a ride that's taking its sweet time
hanging out your heart the one without a care
you rode hard wet a little worse for the wear

you're spending all you earn just to get reborn
where currency no longer has a say
hey enjoy the ride kid yeah enjoy the stay
on this debt that no honest man could pay

you're standing at the crossroads in more ways than one
you're standing at the crossroads of what you have become
one day you will wake up in a brand new world
and take your place upon the string of pearls

another round of heartache simply to pretend
you learn to wear your wounds on the outside in
looking your whole life to find a magic kiss
yes and one day we'll all laugh about this
