Saving Grace Lyrics

Cover art for Saving Grace lyrics by Tom Petty

philmelin, I agree.

"You keep running for another place To find that saving grace"

Maybe hes talking about people (or a particular person) waiting for heaven.

"I’m moving on alone over ground that no one owns Past statues that atone for my sins There’s a guard on every door And a drink on every floor Overflowing with a thousand amens"

He's "alone", maybe he content without religion. "Statues" maybe churches. "Drinks" and "amens" maybe hypocrisy. Just my thoughts.
