Barry Brant

Verse 1;

I had a vivid dream you kissed goodbye,

It changed the course of wind,

And changed my mind,

You planted seeds to watch them fold in bloom,

And I said I’d wait- oh I’d wait for you,

Verse…

Verse 1:

Am I a fool who falls in love,

Just to fall apart,

Am I a fool who falls apart,

For the sake of art,

Finding my meaning,

A holiday greeting,

Wouldn’t be the same if I wasn’t bleeding,

…

Verse 1:

You say you love her- is it so,

And you may call her your forever home,

And you will have kids,

Who have kids,

Who grow old,

But I knew her first-

Before you, so you know-

I…

Verse 1:

You both came with morning like a drop of dew,

And I left it to fate when you up and grew,

Cowboys and farmers in the backyard,

Playing red-rover in the school yard,

Seasons change, we grow old,…

Verse 1:

There ain’t a lot I haven’t got,

Oh I got plenty,
 

The earth beneath my feet,

And air in my lungs,

I got a smile,
 

And I got people that I love,

And it ain’t many,

But it’s…

Verse 1:

Love out your window,

Highway horizons,

Bleed on your pillow,

Between silver linings,

Verse 2:

Dream of a new view,

A world where your shinning,

Block out the rear view,

Trust perfect timing,

And soon you’ll be gliding,

…

Verse 1:

I fell in love with expression,

Always learning lessons,

Writing in the past tense,

You fell in love with a substance,

Living for the moment,

Walking like you own it,

Pre-Chorus:

I got a good thing,

And I…

Refrain:

And I have dreams to make it out of here,

And I’ll come back in a box, I swear,
 

(Staggered breathing)

You might think that you know it all,

But life’s got a way of proving you know nothing,…

Verse 1:

If you loved me like an ash tray,

And burnt me till the flame was out,

You coulda got it,

Stuck me to like hairspray,

And formed the words right in my mouth,

You coulda had this,
 

Pre-Chorus:

…

Verse 1:

Older and wiser,

Got aches in my tooth,

Bitting my tounge,

Despite the truth,
 

Kick off the day with a rose and balloon,

Wrap up the night with a bout of blues,
 

But as i get older,

She…

Verse 1:

Life sure is taking its time,

And everyone’s moving past mine,

And this ain’t a race,

But man- I ain’t winning,

But when I look at her face,

My mother keeps me from quitting,
 

Chorus:

And she says…

Intro: [Barry Brant]

I wish someone told me- Romeo brought a gun!
 

Verse 1: [Barry Brant]

You walked right into the room,

Looked right through,

Me- typical,

It’s what I’d expect,

You make it known you ain’t prude,

I know…

Verse 1:

You got a tattoo,

In the back room,

Of a small town party,

They cleaned it with Bacardi,
 

I’d text you,

But I’m scared to,

Cause I know your wounds still bleed,

(Cause of me!)

You feel lied…

Verse 1:

We’re kissing with the record on,

Love me like you mean it.

You tell me it’s your favorite song—

When it’s me that’s singing, and…
 

You’ve got me all figured out,

I don’t like that.

You know why…

Verse 1:

I’ve come face to face,

With the look of death herself,

I’ve gone far from grace,

And I’ve given- but none for myself,
 

Verse 2:

I’m not sanctified,

With unbridled profit,

Though these wet blue eyes,

I’ve seen…

Verse 1:

I smoke like a chimney,

And at night I’m awake in my bed,

When I eat I feel funny,

And when I leave the house I’m scared to death,
 

Chorus:

Cause something bad’s always coming,

It doesn’t matter…

Verse 1:

Baby- we got lost in the madness,

And lost all our colors,

Except shades of blue,

And maybe-

We got caught in a magnet,

Of fatal attraction,

That led me to you,

Pre-Chorus:

But no one,

Loves me-

…

Verse 1:

Love me like a tattoo,

Let me get under your skin,

You know what I’ve been through,

But I promise to let you in,
 

(Instrumental)
 

Verse 2:

I would argue for hours,

If it meant I could feel…

Verse 1: [Barry Brant]

They got an old song playing through the stereo,

It’s a Johnny Cash late night hit,

Talking ’bout some ring of fire,

And how he fell right into it,
 

Pre-Chorus: [Barry Brant]

And I know what…

Verse 1:

Praying for a changing,

In the weather,

It is raining,

I got thoughts the preacher wishes I would hide,

Verse 2:

It’s like lightning,

Feel it in my bones,

It’s exciting,

When we’re all alone,

And there’s nothing…

Intro:

Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo,

Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo,

Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo,

Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo,
 

Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo,

Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo,

Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo,

Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo,

Verse 1:

Take it or leave it,

…

Verse 1:

Sip another drop of that Smokey moonshine,

I got ten dollars on the pirates game,

You came to town on the Appalachian rail line,

Laugh and say it’s cause your scared of planes,
 

Verse 2:

And I had…

Intro:

(1, 2, 3, 4)

Verse 1:

One more, I’m good to go,

Hold me tight and get me close oh-
 

And one more- I’ll come undone,

At Uncle Jack’s with coke and rum no-
 

Verse 2:

Say you’re- from…

Verse 1:

You know it’s getting hot out,

It’s the summer season,

Baby take it off,

Take it off,

Jumping in the deep end,

And we’re skinny dipping,

Straight into the fall,

Didn’t think I’d fall,

Pre-Chorus:

Fall for someone…
