Pilesar - Just a Turtle
lyrics
i remember the first time i saw you
you were stranded on highway 1
i bet the pavement felt warm against your belly,
your head outstretched towards the sun.

i turned around so that i could retrieve you
i put you under the driver's seat
if i recall, you really didn't like that
you tried to bite and claw my feet...

you're just a turtle in the middle of the road
how could i think to pass you by?
i couldn't live with a clear conscience
had i left you there to die.

you're just a turtle, you're just a turtle
you're just a turtle....

i drove around for about half of an hour
in an attempt to find a creek
i found a place behind an old chinese restaraunt
i parked my car and crossed the street

a man in a pick-up truck pulled up behind me
he asked if was going to eat you
i said no, i was going to set you free
he said too bad, you'd make a good stew

you're just a turtle in the middle of the road
how could i think to pass you by?
i couldn't live with a clear conscience
had i left you there to die.

you're just a turtle, you're just a turtle
you're just a turtle....

as i watched you swim into the distance
i fought the tears back with all of my might
i turned around and went back to my car
i know that we'll both sleep better tonight
