lyrics

Sometimes in life, just like a rollin' tumbleweed,
out of nearly thin air, you can rustle what ya need.
Little darlin', I guess what I'm tryin' to say,
is would you like to accompany me on a date?

When I was younger, took to cowboys like you,
the kinder and gentler were precious and few.
so please don't dismay, and I hope you don't mind,
but my previous lovers were downright unkind.

Come again, come around,
let the moon spill on the ground.
We could be you and me
I don't see nothin', darlin',
when your eyes shine down on mine.
Come, angel divine, know me.

And if it's just all too much,
darlin', hush, I'll let you be;
the road is long, we'll carry on,
I can be stronger, darlin',
but if you think you've changed your mind,
come, walk by my side, know me.

Her songs vary in sentiment and topic - stinkbugs and coffee play a comedic counterpart to her more emotive compositions. ... more
