Double knee Carhartt pants
in rusty brown,
a cotton cornflower blue
long sleeve
shirt.

Stains from cooking about my tummy,
cuffs of my pants I'm soaked in mud n dirt.

Everyone already had some wine
an they are feelin' fine,
but I'm not in the mood to flirt.

My hair up in a messy bun,
a colorful scarf around my neck,
you say I still glow
I'm looking sweet,
I throw up my arms
an I say what the heck?

I look like crap I'm smelly too,
this ***** vest? I love it true,

Your cheeks are cherry red
your eyes they sparkle too,

You say- it's just what makes you -
you,
an you are so very BEAUTIFUL tonight.
