Is it a mean streak
      C                  D
youʼd swear youʼd swear
                E
we never seen a stranger round here

is it the way the dust clings to the air
          D                  E
but youʼd swear youʼd swear
Is it a mean streak
a desolation sound
a copy of desire oh nothingʼs that far down
a mean streak on a western swing
on Tv saying the damnedest thing

a mean streak in  the ghost state
