I know this girl from Texas
Who rustles up smiles for free
Feels like home on the range
With lasso in hand
Pretty as you please

Warm and comfortable as a campfire
Wild as a coyotes howl
God was right in his choice
Giving her an angels voice
Mixed in with a Southern draw

There's a mischievousness to her roundup
Like that of a rouge rodeo
Playing life's full hand
From sunrise to sunset
This girl from Texas that I know

As I strolled down  Beaker Street
A neon sign flashed in front of me

That said "Only Serious Poets Need Apply"
(Blink) "Need Apply" (Blink) "Need Apply"

So it was I thought to myself
I can think of noone else

As serious a poet such as I

I looked to the right and then the left
Feeling pretty confident about myself

And decided to take a gander inside

The room it was totally dark
In the corner was the tiniest of sparks

I did a stately poetic stroll in that direction

Feeling I might have made a mistake
This thought occurring a little too late

But of course this whole scene might just be window dressing

A voice said we don't need a poet at all
Just someone dumb and gullible

That's the moment in my pants I started messing

Turns out it was a mad scientist
With a masters degree in craziness

What were his dastardly plans I could only be guessing

I was grabbed by a couple of thugs
Who highly dislike deodorant and mouthwash

******* and flown off to the smallest of islands

Where they did unspeakable experiments on me
In the first, second, and third degree

All because to insanity they took a liking

When it was they were finally done
With what those nut jobs consider good fun

Don't know how many walls they had me climbing

Daily now I plan my escape
I only hope that I'm not to late

When the opportunity arrives I hope I don't blow it

I find it so hard to believe
That this all has happened to me

And Why?
Because of me being such a serious poet

Faith, fills me with Truth kept hidden from the world.
Mercy given to others, because I received it as well.
Love I give to you and others freely , for it fills my heart.
Grace I been given even though I am undeserving of it.
Saved by Christ , through Faith knowing that God .
Has took my place on the Cross dying for my Sins.
Thus rising up , revealing to his Disciples that he lives.
Then going to Heaven, so that he could sit next to the Father.
So that all of us whom believes, and work out our Faith.
Can become Children of God, loving others into the Kingdom.

You can use a heavy blindfold
Tie it to a chair
Throw it in a waiting trunk
Take it far from here

Ask it out fishing with you
Miles away from shore
Grab it when its back is turned
Toss it overboard

Hope against hope
That it'll give up the ghost
But love for loves sake
Will always make its way back home

You can climb the highest mountain
Push it off a cliff
Peer over to the bottom
Watch it as it hits

Place it in a rocket
Shoot it to the moon
While it's up in orbit
Pack your stuff and move

Though you would think by now
That by now you'd know
Love will always find a way
To make its way back home

Take it to the wild side of town
Sell it to the gypsies
Whisper underneath your breath
Hope that you don't miss me

When the weather's cooler
Take it to the fair
While in the house of mirrors
Leave its reflection there

Even when it's stranded
Left to shiver in the cold
Love in all its wonder
Will make its way back home

The character of a man
Can be best explained
In the way they act
When no one's watching them

Do they do right in the way
When there's no one there to say
Do they hold tight to the line
Time after time after time

A lot can be said
About the character of a man
In the way they act
When no one's watching them

It's a sad scene
Your eyes of green
That are so often blue
From what you go through

Wish I could help
You figure it out
Try something new
What's there to lose

Maybe try this on for size
I think that you might
Find this to be true
That my love looks good on you

Once given a chance
And you let it sink in
I'm sure over time
Love will be what you like

With open arms
What could be the harm
I'm thinking that it
Will be the perfect fit

Slip into this
Start with a kiss
Feels good brand spanking new
My love looks good on you

I have no doubt
It'll never wear out
Spring in its color
Warmth in its Summer

Like a ray of sunshine
Tells the night that it's time
To give the darkness away
That is why I say

To try this on for size
I'm sure that you will find
This all to be true
That my love looks good on you
