Michael Kalavik Poet Lyric

Waymore On the Prowl

I’m sitting at this keyboard pecking out a song,
Thinking of the kind of love that always done me wrong.
I let my mind drift back a ways, focus on those simpler days 
Of courtship for women and men.

It was a whole different rodeo when…

It was pinball and pool halls,
A shot and a beer, a quarter gonna get you three plays
At your typical blue collar honky tonk joint.
Recalling Waymore and his outlaw days.

Waymore on the prowl when the cat come whispering
Play his smoke and wine for any lady listening
Sniff around the taproom with those no good friends of mine
Take the barmaid home when she gets off at closing time
	
It was a whole different rodeo when
You could tell from the feel of her skin
We were loving in person back then.

Now with internet dating a fly on the wall 
Could choke on the internet haze.
It’s all google-eyed, cyber love, harmony crap;
I’m missing Waymore and his outlaw days.	

Waymore on the prowl was a wily specimen. 
Caught more tail with come-ons than with instant messaging.
Had a way with words like they were stolen property.
Left a woman knowing she’d been texted properly.
