Is it a mean streak you'd swear you'd swear
We never seen a stranger around here
Is it the way the dust clings to the air
You'd swear you'd swear

Is it a mean streak or a desolation sound
A copy of bizarro but nothing's that far down
Mean Streak on a western swing
On TV saying the damnedest thing

Mean Streak You'd Swear You'd Swear
We've never seen a stranger around here
It's the way the dust clings to the air
After a strangers been there
you'd swear you'd swear
was it there

Is it a Mean Streak to a certain degree
They come whistling down the crookedest street
Mean Streak in the ghost stayed
Between the certain and the hesitate

Mean Streak you'd swear you'd swear
We've never seen a stranger around here
It's the way the dust clings to the air
After the strangers been here
You'd swear you'd swear

Was that you there
that was you there
was that you there
that was you there

Shoosh that sound in the bottoms of their rooms
On the tops of the grass
As the hay waggon rolled past

And I'd swear I'd swear
The way the dust clings to the air
After the strangers been there
I'd swear I'd swear
That was you there

I'd swear I'd swear
