Cowboy Blues

Cowboy Blues
1. Cowboy Blues



Cowboy Blues
(verse 1)
take me out west
where the foundation is dry
but the brew is wet
lay me down in the green grass
let me plant something wild and free
and watch it grow
with his sturdy frame in my view

why did I fall in love
and then leave that bull-rider?
the realest thing I ever knew
it was all right here
tucked into the quilt of my heart
sleeping quietly in my hometown

(chorus)
tracing the rocky mountains
dancing barefoot in cold rains
forget I left and take hold of me
leave the girl you took as a partner
I'll stick around and won't leave no longer
let me sing you my life's love song, cowboy blues
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
riding shotgun in your old pickup
just as always
the lonely highway feels warm
the sun in the dusty sky
can fry up my insecurities about you
you're my baby

I'll take care of you
you watch out for me
I've got your back 
and picked up your slack

(chorus)
trying to hide from the sun
leaving the shade and going on the run
taking a chance and getting married
your mama probably hates me
my daddy thinks you're sleazy
our twisted lives have become a love song, cowboy blues
(end chorus)

(bridge)
even if a tornado shakes us up
I'll pour happiness in your cup
anyway

(chorus)
tracing the rocky mountains
dancing barefoot in cold rains
forget I left and take hold of me
leave the girl you took as a partner
I'll stick around and won't leave no longer
let me sing you my life's love song, cowboy blues
trying to hide from the sun
leaving the shade and going on the run
taking a chance and getting married
your mama probably hates me
my daddy thinks you're sleazy
our twisted lives have become a love song, cowboy blues
(end chorus)

Unrequited Finally

Unrequited Finally 1. Unrequited Finally Unrequited Finally (verse 1) you and I together made a solemn unspoken oath a secret never told is the very one best kept I shy away when our eyes suddenly meet like I've got a secret identity that I've just got to keep I long to get out of here and feel the spring air at night I can dream only of your long hair we snuck off when no one was looking now you act like you don't know me what is all of this? (chorus) I like that, but why do I like that? my first fantasy and my last taste of love my feelings awakened and fell from above my heart burst from happiness like an attack I like that, but why do I like that? you moved on, but I'm still stuck just chop it up to being romantically sick this is what's called unrequited love finally (end chorus) (verse 2) the lips you kissed are forever sealed shut but they pinned me against the tiled bathroom wall your friends raised eyebrows and asked questions you said not to worry because ...

Mystery Butterfly

Mystery Butterfly 1. Mystery Butterfly Mystery Butterfly (verse 1) open your shiny eyes in the silent night I swooped down into the mystery sneaking in alleyways without any sound of footsteps crouching my back in seductive black cat pose the moonlight carries a shadow on its back of my silhouette "come here" it smiles as it beckons to me it's tempting a contour of desire squirms in the sleepless city it wanders in the guise of a guardian angel to me it holds piece of love without a place to go in its arm as if they're precious treasures as you fall to sleep blissfully are you somewhere having a good dream ignorantly being happy as anyone would want the starry sky kisses you it's time for good children to go to bed to sleep (chorus) don't look at me, don't catch me don't try to be what's become of me I'm a butterfly who got lost in the dark freely singing with monochrome wings no one can see I'm hiding away in your heavy heart (end chorus) ...
