Carrying The Torch<br>

<br>

(Kinky Friedman)<br>

<br>

Did I hear you say you wished that you could leave her ?<br>

Has some foolish disagreement made you blind ?<br>

If you traveled round this world, you wouldn’t find another girl<br>

To hold the candle to the guy you left behind.<br>

<br>

And boy, she’s carrying the torch for you<br>

Though solid tears may fall, you never know.<br>

But on the day that you discover how much you really love her<br>

You’ll find her love has never lost its glow.<br>

<br>

She believed ya when you pledged her your devotion<br>

When she watched you as you walked right out the door.<br>

After all that she’s been through tonight she still believes in you<br>

As she stands there all alone upon the shore.<br>

<br>

And boy, she’s carrying the torch for you,<br>

Though her heart may break, you never know.<br>

But on the day that you discover how much you really love her<br>

You’ll find her love has never lost its glow.<br>

<br>

You know, I still remember the first time I ever saw her.<br>

You see, I was coming home from overseas,<br>

And well, she was just standing there as the ship was comin’ in.<br>

Well, she really stood out from the crowd, I can tell you that.<br>

And the golden light of dawn was gleaming in her eyes.<br>

Well, there’s some folks that call her proud,<br>

And there’s some folks that call her wild,<br>

And there’s some that even go so far as to call her free,<br>

And then there’s some ...<br>

Well they just call her the Statue of Liberty!<br>

<br>

And boy she’s carrying the torch for you<br>

Thank you!<br>

Her love light shines for all this world to see.<br>

Thank you very much!<br>

And on that day<br>

Thank you!<br>

You’ll find a way to love her<br>

She wants you just to know you’re always free.<br>

<br>
