Lyrics
Cotton Feather Music
Lipstick Magic rollin' in her boots. Cotton Feather music in her roots.
Blueberry eyes sparkle when she cries - a simple grace with a smile upon her face.
There's golden wings strapped to her feet.
She's in love with a man she'll never meet.
When she's mad, her face turns red. Smoke blows from her ears out of her head.
There's something in the way that she talks.
She's an ace for sure by the way that she walks.
Her maw looks good, I bet her daddy's really mean.
She must've walked out of a beauty queen dream.
The rag hat cat and all the king's men,
Fall 'neath her spell - their all condemned.
There never was a reason or a cause
They couldn't relate to her painted fate.
Gotta get a-goin' on down the road.
Stayed here to long, I done growed old.
Got cotton feather music stuck in my ear
And blueberry eyes in my mind for years.
2008
