Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers - Green & Dumb lyrics

rate me

Daisies stand up on their tip-toes

Clouds tumble over themselves in the sky

And all the pretty horses come runnin’ to her

And even the dust devils pray

That they'll catch her eye

I haunt her house from the outside

I watch her bake cornbread and talk on the phone

And the wireless on the inside plays a sad sweet song

A mute moonlit statue am I, she waltzes alone

But baby, baby, I could call you baby

If I weren’t so empty in the head and tied up in the tongue

And baby, baby, I could call you baby

If I weren’t so green and dumb

The wind ain’t stopped blowin’ since morning

It’s got me froze up on the inside

And I could get warm in the bunk house

And thaw out on coffee and bread

But baby, baby, I could call you baby

If I weren’t so empty in the head and tied up in the tongue

But baby, baby, I could call you baby

If I weren’t so green and dumb

I need your government warning

like I need a hole in my head

Well, I won’t shoot your coyotes

And I won’t burn your weeds

Your paycheck won’t fill up this hollow

It won't dull all the aching

But baby, baby, I could call you baby

If I weren’t so empty in the head and tied up in the tongue

But baby, baby, I could call you baby

If I weren’t so green & dumb

If I weren’t so green & dumb

If I weren’t so green & dumb

If I weren&amp;#8217;t so green &amp; dumb<br />

<br />
