Ba Girl

People often tell me
 That all my songs are sad
 Lately i spend all my time
 alone and feeling bad
 but they can rest assured
 that i've seen good times too
 but good times they don't sound as good
 as the things that make me blue
 good times they don't rhyme as well
 and happy songs don't always tell
 the truth about the living hell
 that a woman sometimes brings
 I used to like watching hippie dance
 till i traded mine in for a burning man
 chances are it wasn't meant to be
 so i'll keep writing cowboy songs
 and being me
 theres laughing on the hillside
 theres crying down below
 theres a crook on every corner
 and theres mercy on your soul
 theres a woman that will love you
 and theres a woman that will cheat
 theres a loyal dog just waitin
 alone on every street
 so get a dog
 good times they don't rhyme as well
 and happy songs don't always tell
 the truth about the living hell
 that a woman sometimes brings
 i went over to her house to make amends
 and found her jumping on the bed
 with all my friends
 chances are it wasn't meant to be
 good times they don't rhyme as well
 and happy songs they don't always tell
 the truth about the living hell
 that a woman sometimes brings
 the girl in echo park was cute
 til she ran off with the blue man group
 chances are it wasn't meant to be
 so i'll keep picking this here guitar and feeling mean
 theres a bar girl in the window
 she's staring back at me
 shes still as a stubborn statue
 she's fine as make believe
 but shes filled with bad intentions
 and her eyes are made of sin
 she's taken fire and brimstone to the lives of many men
 stear clear
 the good times they don't rhyme as well
 and happy songs don't always tell
 the truth about the living hell
 that a woman sometimes brings
 so take advice from me my friend
 just don't fall in love with a mannequin
 chances are it wasn't meant to be
 just keep stealing cowboy songs and feeling free
 we'll just keep stealing cowboy songs and feeling free
