Larry Bradfield Poet Lyric

I Miss Her So

I don't care about tomorrow
And can't remember yesterday
I'm just drownin' here in sorrow
Because I lost my love today

She told me once she was goin'
I didn't think that she would go
I stayed where whiskey was flowin'
How could I know I'd miss her so

I couldn't pass up neon signs
And juke boxes with sawdust floors
Fiddles play while a guitar whines -
The little "whoof" of batwing doors

Yeah, I'm drownin' here in sorrow
I had my head up in the fog
Shed more tears than I can borrow
She took my pickup and my dog

Yeah, I'm drownin' here in sorrow
I had my head up in the fog
Shed more tears than I can borrow
She took my pickup and my dog

I've been reading your recent poems with the "lyric" designation and I'm really impressed. You've got the touch, my friend!..Do you write the music for them also? Larry
