Junkyard - Kathy Mattea

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
