Girl from Bowling Green

from This Was Supposed to Be Temporary by Benjamin Shepherd

lyrics

This girl from Bowling Green
Was like amphetamine
Hadn’t seen her in a year or so
When she came through town not long ago
She said, “If it’s alright
Could I stay here tonight?”
I wasn’t really sure
But I couldn’t close the door

I’ve braved the weather
I’ve been tarred and feathered
And friendly with the losing end
But I don’t think I’ll be doin it again

She said, "Walk lightly now"
I said, "I don't know how.
And if I could, you see,
you wouldn't keep me company"
She had the darkest hair
That I’ve seen anywhere
And those hollow eyes
That never showed surprise

I’ve braved the weather
I’ve been tarred and feathered
And friendly with the losing end
But I don’t think I’ll be doin it again

Winter by the lake
Seemed like the spell would never break

We were on a roll
Giving in, relinqueshing control
Where it may have mattered most
Never giving up the ghost
