The Long Beds: Listen
Could Be You
(Michael Perry and The Long Beds)
Waterboys and Medicine Bow
Daddy told me not to go
Carbon County 402
Reservation blues
Posers, pimps and prostitutes
20/20 in a Nudie suit
White boy loves his olive girl
Whirly, whirly girl.
chorus
Could be me, could be you
Could be me, could be you
Could be me, could be you
Could be you
Devil’s teeth in turpentine
Revelations over time
Run all night and made the line
I’m way behind
June bug dying in the screen
Evidence of things unseen
Put your money in the jar
If you get that far
bridge
Searching for a higher plane
Settle in and spread the blame
Cut the check and sign your name
It’s all the same
Silly girl with a crystal ball
Keeps one foot propped against the wall
Gives as good as she gets
It ain’t over yet
Rockets in Chugwater Flats
Dry bones where the dreamer sat
Prophet in a cowboy hat
I ain’t buyin’ that.
chorus
