VooDoo Ranger

'nother heartbreak
sorry
I'm all red flags
and warning labels
 ...yet she tried
not all my fault
but it's a pattern

I think I might 
until I know I don't
some brutal honesty
I squirm free of the noose
and put 500 miles 
between us 
before I stop for the night

at some forgotten campground
I'm stirring the embers in the
dying light
pondering 
what it all means

my love
she says I lied about

well it was blind
until it opened its eyes

now out of her arms 
and into my five dollar camp chair
nothing but a VooDoo Ranger 
for company

staring out over that vast sea 
of loneliness
strumming my ukulele  
and singing softly 
"Can't You See"
