ooh ohh...
Gold teeth and a curse for this town
Were all in my mouth
Only I don't know how
They got out dear
Turn me back into the pet
I was when we met
I was happier then
With no mindset
And if you took
To me like a
A gull takes
To the wind
Well Id've jump
From my tree and
Id've danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would've faired well
New slang when you notice the stripes
And the dirt in your fries
Hope it's right when you die
Old and bony
Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall
Never should of called
But my head's to the wall
And I'm lonely
And if you took
To me like a
A gull takes
To the wind
Well Id've jumped
From my tree and
Id've danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would've faired well
La la la la la...
God speed all the bakers at dawn
May they all cut their thumbs
And bleed into their buns
Till they melt away
Cause I'm lookin in
On the good life
I might be
Doomed never to find
Without a trust
Or flaming fields
Am I
Too dumb to refine
And if you took
To me like well
Id've danced like the queen of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would've faired well
La la la la la...
Ooh ooh ooh...

could you do something by allan rayman? maybe Tennessee? that'd be dope. love your covers!

[@ronalderette3049]

well i have listened to several of your covers and enjoyed them. they are good. but this particular one is very good considering how hard it is to get this strumming and picking pattern down. the vocals were also good. but most impressive is that for most of the performance your eyse were closed. so it was all memory and feeling guiding you along. thanks for sharing this. it is an inspiration to any player.
