Too Shiny

Lyrics

I was a junk store queen, you were the king of the rusty old machine
 True grit and time on our hands
 Basement apartment we carried everything worth anything wherever we went
 It was not much, it did not weigh us down
 I fell in love with the road and the racket
 You fell in love with a rich girl who took off packin'
 Now you're back with a real job and what the clean-cut folks call a real life
 And I'm laughing just to keep the tears from my eyes
 What now? You just come back to impress me?
 Show up in your two-ton truck and turn the key
 Of that four-by-four with the double doors
 That you paid too much for
 But it's just a little too shiny for me
 Yeah it's just a little too shiny for me
 Too shiny for me
 You ain't haulin' horses, you ain't haulin' hay
 You just haul your heart down to the bar at the end of every working day
 Hard work and a heart that's true, no one would know half as well as you do
 That good luck and good timing don't make a good man out of you
 There's gotta be something else to get you through
 And now, you don't have to come back and impress me
 This whole world is your diamond, and babe you're just chippin' away
 Fillin' up holes with glitter and gold
 And all the things you paid for with the dreams that you sold
 But it's all just a little too shiny for me
 Yeah it's all just a little too shiny for me
 It's all just a little too shiny for me
 Too shiny for me
