"Jade" Lyrics:
She never did too well with all those formalities
She never got used to all her lovers and their whispers and pleas
She was a city girl, never had no need for drivin around
She always had another boy waiting for her on the other side of town
She said let me guess two years, you lookin like a wise fool
Hold on honey, I got nothing left to lose
She said she got a lot of turquoise, lookin for a little jade
I said I got that stone wrapped up in the middle of my name
Green like my name, green like my jade
Green was the color of that fine looking gaze
Oooooh red on my lips, blood through my veins
Something like the taste of her good-loving ways
Well she didn’t mind the chase, she gets her lovin on the road
Had a couple flames burn out but they’re comin back for more
she kept a couple in her pocket, when the weather turned bad
all the boys they’d chase what they never could have
I said what’s your little secret babe, what you gonna do to me
she said hang on tight wear your luck on your sleeve
She said she got a lot of turquoise, lookin for a little jade
I said I got that stone wrapped up in the middle of my name
Green like my name, green like my jade
Green was the color of that fine looking gaze
red on my lips, blood through my veins
Something like the taste of her good-loving ways
Green like my name, green like my jade
All my loving fade away
She tore my shirt and she stole my name
She filled her pockets for a couple days, in a couple of ways, with all of my jade
Green like my name, green like my jade
Green was the color of that fine looking gaze

Dude I wish I had your voice. So dang good. Cheers from Minnesota

[@AnthonyArya]

Ah thank you! I’ve got a song called ain’t it cold in Minnesota off my first album. Take a listen to it. Had a girlfriend who moved to st Olaf 😆

[@danegagnon]

@@AnthonyArya Dude, I'm a student at St. Olaf College! 😂 I actually saved that first album of yours on Spotify years back. I knew you'd appreciate a salutation from Minnesota haha

[@AnthonyArya]

haha wow no way!! hopefully I make it out there one of these days and play it live on campus!@@danegagnon

[@danegagnon]

@@AnthonyArya What a small world! 😂 I think you'd be a such a hit if you showed up for a gig. I graduate in May and frankly, can't imagine a better way to conclude my time here at St. Olaf. Maybe that's too short of notice?

[@AnthonyArya]

@@danegagnon congrats man, well hey if you have any connections there and could get a gig - I could try to come out!

I hope you are well. Visiting your channel I have seen your all videos and content are very good but your video SEO optimization is not professional. Perhaps you are busy for managing the channel
