Smile At The Mention

Written by

Original Artist

Ben Harper

I cry at roadkill
I cry at open fields
When I'm driving in the South
I cry for jockey and horse
For hypocrisy
When I'm walking in the North
But I always smile when I think of you

Like a train in the night
The never-ending fight
For justice deserved
I cry at an epitaph
When I'm reading Grapes of Wrath
At justice unserved
But I always smile when I think of you

I cry for 100 years
So hard I can't see clear
When I try to recall
What can't be undone
What I can't outrun
Still through it all
I always smile when I think of you
