Lyrics
Green & Dumb
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Daisies stand up on their tip-toes
Clouds tumble over themselves in the sky
And all the pretty horses come runnin' to her
And even the dust devils break
But they'll catch your eye
I haunt her house from the outside
I watch her bake cornbread and talk on the phone
And the wireless on the inside plays a sad sweet song
A mute moonlit statue of mine, she waltzes alone
But baby, baby, i could call you baby
If i weren't so empty in the head and tied up in the tongue
And baby, baby, i could call you baby
If i weren't so green and dumb
The wind ain't stopped blowin' since morning
It's got me froze up on the inside
And i could get warm in the bunk house
And thaw out on coffee and bread
But baby, baby, i could call you baby
If i weren't so empty in the head and tied up in the tongue
But baby, baby, i could call you baby
If i weren't so green and dumb
I need your government warning
Like i need a hole in my head
Well, i won't shoot your coyotes
And i won't burn your weeds
Your paycheck won't fill up this hollow
It won't die along the ages
But baby, baby, i could call you baby
If i weren't so empty in the head and tied up in the tongue
But baby, baby, i could call you baby
If i weren't so green & dumb
If i weren't so green & dumb
If i weren't so green & dumb
If i weren't so green & dumb
