Somewhere In Between

It ain't good and it ain't bad It's somewhere in between Wasn't right and it wasn't wrong It's just a cowboy's dream Saw her come in through the bat-wings She stopped and looked around Prettiest gal I'd ever seen And I was trouble bound I said,"Howdy", as my voice broke, "I'll buy you one cold beer." She said,"Thank you..but make it two, "My husband's standin' near." I looked around and there he was, Scrawny as he could be Now I am tall and I am broad I'll whup the likes of he I kinda chuckled at the sight And made some smart remark Hopin' the gal could see my strength And that might start a spark The spark it started came from him He hit me in the jaw Then broke a bottle on my head Beat all I ever saw I don't recall a whole lot then They say I just went dumb Mostly I hurt all over now Hospital bed helps some It ain't good and it ain't bad It's somewhere in between Learned some things that I didn't know Scrawny's sometimes just lean December 21, 2016
