South By West

If she was a bird she'd fly forever If she was a sound she'd be a song We were always going hell for leather And when she sang we all sang along If she was a fire she'd burn the house down If she was a star her name would be in lights We were always going pound for pound With the regulars on Tuesday nights Love is clear love is blinding Lord knows I paid the price Use to say that she was lightning Cause lightning never strikes you twice If she was a book she'd be a novel If she was rich she'd be a millionaire We were always in and out of trouble But she was the answer to my prayers And she never needed no direction She lived her life south by west And I myself had many questions But I kept them tight to my chest Love is clear love is blinding Lord knows I paid the price Use to say that she was lightning Cause lightning never strikes you twice No lightning never strikes you twice Lightning never strikes you twice
