YOU COULD BE ANYTHING (YOU'RE MY GIRL)

Just after Blind River you start feeling sleepy until suddenly the centerline doubles in size and the road starts to wind like crazy as it follows the riverbank. As the road straightens out I always notice that abandoned house on the right hand side. It's just empty window frames and bare boards but every time I hear the echo of long gone little feet banging up and down the stairs, a voice saying, "supper's ready and I'm not calling again!", and a thousand sweet goodnights and even though it's as crazy as trying to straighten out that road I want to get some paint and some glass and Rosie, you and I would come back here and never leave. It's not too late! You could be anything, you're my girl. She used to shoot for the stars She wanted to see the face of God Now she takes what she can get And doesn't even think that's odd or that anything's changed She drove a Gremlin in '81 Now she's got that Cutlass Olds Used to drive around for fun Now she goes just where she's told it's all arranged CHORUS Oh - you could be anything Oh - you're my girl No one said it would be easy No one said it would be hard No one ever said much of anything They just stumbled in the dark like it was normal Now and then she sees a spark Then it all comes down like rain Starts with hundred dollar bills Then turns to loose change she loves a storm CHORUS Once upon a time She used to love to dream Now she's just the same She just doesn't put the cream, in her coffee Once upon a time In a land far away She used to drive a Gremlin Cruisin' down the highway, lookin' for God CHORUS All songs Copyright © 1995, All Rights Reserved.
