Country

You said I was beautiful

But you jus’ meant my body

Because you never even

Looked at me.



It is really worth

Searching for?

Is there anything more

That I missed

On my way here?



I put change in my pocket

And stumble for the jukebox.

I got one more song

That needs to be sung.



And somewhere in the air

I imagine you near.

But I know it ain’t never gonna be.

You lost your train

On the way outta

The pain,

And I got shades

That can be worn

Night or day



The sweet Louisiana heat

Don’t go down with the sun

Nor does the

Men for that matter.

And my hair is pulled up

But my dignity’s low

Low as the dirt on my feet.



Pull me out a card

One that speaks worlds

One that tells

The future

And you can see the dagger

Above his head

And I can see he’s still standing

And that makes the ride worth taking

That makes the world

Worth a turnin’

And I am shy a beer

And I am imagining you here

With sweat on your top lip

And your shirt half buttoned

And maybe a straight answer

And a little butter.

It don’t matter.

I love you no ways

Any ways

And today.

I guess I could come on home.

Right after I play this song.
