HOMESPUN COUNTRY GIRL                                                              There was a man, hair white as snow                          He’d lived a long life, had a lot to show for it His prized possession was a daughter so fine Her skin was olive, her hair black as night She wore a floral print dress all summer long When she walked by birds would break into song She was his country girl, his homespun country girl She was his country girl, his homespun country girl                                                     There was a boy, he lived down the dusty road. Spent hours standing by the gateway, peering through the window His one obsession was a girl so fine Her eyes were deepest brown, her smile did shine                                                                       She wore a daisy chain necklace all summer long When she skipped by birds would break into song She was his country girl, his homespun country girl She was his country girl, his homespun country girl    There was a girl she rolled in the country hay. She worked in the country fields, toiled the country way Her one confession, she thought the city so fine She liked drum and bass and hard house, Cappuccinos, paninis and wine   When autumn’s first rains had muddied the tracks She took a train to the city and never looked back            She was determined she weren’t gonna be No one’s country girl                             Yeah that’s damn right, she weren’t gonna be No homespun country girl

Swimming 05:52
SWIMMING   New Year's Eve, sunset red Gotta cold beer in the hand Boys and girls down by the fire Eyes a-roving round the sand            My friend Bobby, he pointed out to me A girl across the firelight She was gorgeous, and Bobby bet That she'd be his that night So off he went, around the fire To offer her a drink I sat back to watch the show Would he swim or would he sink? Well midnight passed and it was clear This was one bet he would lose I asked if I could try my luck Here's the line I used I said let's go swimming Let's go diving beneath the waves Let's go swimming It might be cold but let's be brave Let's go swimming Just me and you We could even get naked Do anything we wanna do New Year's Eve, sunset pink Vodka and lime in hand Girls and boys down on the beach Fire blazing in the sand       My friend Sally, she pointed out to me A boy across the fire He was gorgeous, and Sally bet That he'd be hers that night She disappeared, and then some guy Came followed me around Neither hint nor threat would make him leave I lost him in the crowd Well midnight passed, so tired I Lay down on the cool earth When that gorgeous boy, he loomed above And spoke to me these words He said let's go swimming Let's go diving beneath the waves Let's go swimming It might be cold but let's be brave Let's go swimming Just me and you We could even get naked Do anything we wanna do So we went swimming We went diving beneath the waves We went swimming It was cold but we were brave We went swimming Just you and me Yeah we even got naked Were everything that we could be
