Liner Notes

Lyrics

so you really think it’s ok it was only sex didn’t mean nothing thought I wouldn’t mind about that kind of fooling round it doesn’t work quite like that don’t tell me you got smacked I know a lie bet you phone her right after I’m gone

I’m gonna find the highest bar stool in this town and I will sit there on that nice high ground I will drink every bottle of wine in this bar dry before I let somebody like you get me down

don’t you call, don’t try to talk like some smooth cowboy cause you’re not you’re far too short, you don’t have a horse and that’s just a start my advice is to find something possibly bovine you can both roll in the mud all night

While I find the highest bar stool in this town and I sit there on that nice high ground I will drink every bottle of wine in this bar dry before I let somebody like you get me down I’m gonna find the highest bar stool in this town and I will sit there on that nice high ground I will drink every bottle of wine in this bar dry before I let somebody like you get me down

Nice write! I must confess you had me at the title: to have it fleshed out in this fun lyric is icing on the cake. The contrast between the narrator's "high ground" and the cheater's grubbing in the mud is great.

Nice! The lyrics tell a familiar story in an original way, and it's a lovely country folk arrangement.

you sound like the heiress to the throne of the queen of the silver dollar, but this queen is not going to be an easy catch. no waylayers, no one night players allowed. i love the bit where you suggest he find some bovine creature to roll around in the mud with. love the classic melody and old school vocals.
