A Wild Journey (StraightShooter Mix)

V5

[Verse 1] The hammer has dropped, she’s got a brand new look, I’m left in the dust and I’m bait on the hook. In walks the lady, she’s a vision in blue, Making me lose my senses like I’ve got the flu. The boys are all seething AND they’re planning a hit, As I lose all my logic and focus and wit. I’m under her shadow from the moment she came, And nothing in this house will quite be the same. [Chorus] Oh, she’s the girl I married, the talk of the town, She’s got the world acting crazy and acting the clown! The smoke’s in the kitchen, a dark song in my heart, While my buddies are tearing the barroom apart. I’m chasing a dream that I can’t understand, The most beautiful woman in all of the land. Listen close to the secret, I’ll tell you the plan: Friends, my lady is a THESS-pee-un! She shoots straight liquor! A totally amazing THESS-pee-un! Totally amazing THESS-pee-un! [Verse 2] The boys heard the word and they took it to heart, But they didn’t know science or THESS-pee-un art. They thought if they copied the things that she’d do, That she’d fall for us all and her love would be true. So I’m down on the ground in a desperate scene, Purging the memories cause I’m bein’ mean. It’s a total disaster, a misguided mess, As I try to impress her with zero success. [Chorus] Oh, she’s the girl I married, the talk of the town, She’s got the world acting crazy and acting the clown! The smoke’s in the kitchen, a dark song in my heart, While my buddies are tearing the barroom apart. I’m chasing a dream that I can’t understand, The most beautiful woman in all of the land. Listen close to the secret, I’ll tell you the plan: Friends, my lady is a THESS-pee-un! She shoots straight liquor! A totally amazing THESS-pee-un! Totally amazing THESS-pee-un! [Bridge] The guitar is screaming, the feeling is high, But my old emotions dropped down from the sky! They claimed I was lonely, pathetic and mean, The wildest deception the world’s ever seen. I strapped on my Gibson for a one-way balloon, And played every note past the stars and the moon. The crowd just all smiles as I play for the crew, That’s what a broken-up singer will do. [Chorus] Oh, she’s the girl I married, the talk of the town, She’s got the world acting crazy and acting the clown! The smoke’s in the kitchen, a dark song in my heart, While my buddies are tearing the barroom apart. I’m chasing a dream that I can’t understand, The most beautiful woman in all of the land. Listen close to the secret, I’ll tell you the plan: Friends, my lady is a THESS-pee-un! She shoots straight liquor! A totally amazing THESS-pee-un! Totally amazing THESS-pee-un! [Outro] She’s heading for her life at a million miles an hour, While my electric guitar flexes its power. My spirit is back in its rock and roll clothes, And that’s how the memory story goes. Stop crying on floors, boys, she’s already gone, Into the heat of a permanent dawn. She's a THESS-pee-un! She's a stage-stealer! She's on a wild journey for sure! [End]
