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
