Tony Lucca - After All lyrics

rate me

At night the heavens open and the stars unfold

And each time a bed time story is told,

There’s a good side and a bad and a happy after all

The boy falls asleep and it’s not too clear to him at all

He becomes a cowboy on his horse

With a trail of broken laws

And heads to the highway

Every time the highway calls

Says he’ll finish what he started

Next time he’s passin’ through

There’s a woman in each town with a child

The cowboy never knew

Still he comes to you

Says the moral of the story is it all remains the same

As a fool and a master, I’m the ace at every game

Just listen to me girl. I know the tales I tell are tall,

But I could be your cowboy and make you happy ever after,

After all

Now there’s a little girl who dreams of a prince on his white horse

And never quite expects for him to come for her of course.

But it’s nice to imagine all the flowers he might bring

Than staring at the bruises from a man who never brought her anything

No not a god damned thing

So, she becomes a woman who never loved a man.

The only man she knew gave her the backside his hand

And the scars don’t heal so easy, gettin’ wounded all the time.

No sense of self-assuredness, no sense of sanity in her mind.

At least not that she can find

So, listen to me girl, it doesn’t matter black or blue

If that’s the best he offers, it ain’t good enough for you

No I ain’t no prince charming but your backs against the wall

And you don’t need that cowboy to make you happy ever after,

After all

At night the heavens open and the stars unfold

And each time a bed time story is told,

There are some who understand it

And some go on confused,

Some go on abusing

And the rest end up abused,

Convinced there ain’t no happy ever after,

After all

After all

After all

After all

After all
