Lyrics

HEY GIRL

Down at the old folks home their watchin the tv
For any kind of sign that can give them hope
Back at my high school the girls are spreading easy
The boys racin their fast cars
The English teacher is looking for dope

And me and you we go riding down mainstreet
Where things are still the same as the year before
We used to talk about up and movin out west
We don?t talk about that much, anymore

But if I, work harder, think faster
I can claw my way out of this mess
A few pounds heavier, a little more tired
You still look pretty, in that old prom dress

Chorus
But hey girl, I never thought I would sing you this song
And hey girl, your pushin my buttons and doin me wrong
But hey girl, truth aint for free and lies can be cheaper
Hey girl, I think I love you, you know that I love you tonight

So you never did win that scholarship
And we live together in the duplex we rent
The taste in my mouth everyday gets more bitter
All the talk I talked, wasted time that I spent

Since graduation our lives got cloudy,
The good book was wrong, life aint black and white
I make some excuse why I never got nowhere
You just smile and say, baby, that?s alright

Then, leave the dog, at your mothers
I?ll sell my songs to Nashville for sure
Lets leave town, don?t worry about the money
Its what you believe in that makes you rich or poor

Then I?ll, rise higher, go farther
Pack your bags and strike up the band
This life, well leave it all behind
You say, lover it aint that easy from where I stand

Chorus


Slow part
If love was for sale I?d buy it by the truckload, ship it off to you in a one way box,
The thing about love, you said I never understood it
I still seem so young
I guess the secrets stay locked
