What Do Pretty Girls Do
what opened up my eyes to this
i'm just trying to keep 'em closed
hey feller what ya got in that sac
is it somethin' fer me?
a little knowin' is a dangerous thing boy
please take it from me
'cause i'm gone for today boys
gone - but never far away
she won't come - an' i won't follow
shadows lick the day
i entertained that thought so much
it'll never go away
get outta here you yellow bellied snake
slither your way through town
if e'r see you again
put you in the ground
'cause i'm gone for today boys
gone,
Words By Heart
I went through the closet back in my old home
Found a letterman's jacket so I slipped it on
Deep in the pocket still folded up tight
Was the letter you wrote to tell me goodbye
The minute I saw it I just had to smile
It smelled like old leather as smooth as a child
I took a deep breath then put it away
There was no need to read it I knew just what it would say
I know the words by heart, I know every line
From this ain't easy to you'll get along just fine
I know every comma, every question mark
No I don't have to look I know the words by heart
Seems like home movies flash through my head
The homecoming game, that night on my bed
The words that you wrote still cut me in two
How you said you still cared but that we were through
I know the words by heart, I know every line
From this ain't easy to you'll get along just fine
I know every comma, every question mark
No I don't have to look I know the words by heart
Ain't it funny how a memory can play tricks on your mind
I don't remember a thing from my classes but I can quote you every line
I took off my jacket and put it away
With your note in the pocket like I found it that day
Poured me a beer then pictured your face
And drank a silent toast to things that time can't erase
I know the words by heart, I know every line
From this ain't easy to you'll get along just fine
I know every comma, every question mark
No I don't have to look I know the words by heart
I know the words by heart, I know every line
From this ain't easy to you'll get along just fine
I know every comma, every question mark
No I don't have to look I know the words by heart
I know the words
