Lyrics:

(originally by Mark Lanegan)

Can you stay here next to me?
We'll just keep drivin'
Because of you I see a light
The Buick's a Century, a '73 like you
Some strange religion

I get my hands on some money of my own
And I shot it away
Stared down the past and just scarred my eyes
Now I know there's no easy ride
She's been the kind who would take it in stride

Some jack of diamonds kicked her heart around
Did they know they were walking on holy ground?
Almost called it a day so many times
Didn't know what it felt like to be alive
Till you been a friend to me like nobody else could be, mmm

Keep my hands on the wheel now, mama
Gonna honestly try
She looked past the scars and the burned out eyes
You could see I'm no easy ride
She's just the kind who might get you to buy
Some strange religion

This jack of diamonds kicked her heart around
Shoulda known they were walking on holy ground
This life might eventually just be the end of me
Will I still be with you?

I said, get in next to me, just keep driving
'Cause of you, I been alive
And this Buick's a Century, '73 like you
Some strange religion
The Buick's a Century, '73 like you
Some strange religion
