Sticks & Stones
From the Desk of The Bacon Cat Legging Society
Sticks and stones
don't break bones
but words can break a soul
... ask me how I know.
You said you were a good man
said you always do what you can
but it was only a lie
so you could rope and ride.
What's a girl to do
when the cowboy is revealed a conman?
His garden of Eden - nothing more than quick sand.
He said he'd love me right
but his idea of bonfire is candlelight
can't measure up or measure down
doesn't really know north from south
better hope your license plate doesn't say Texas
but if it does you're in good company cause he'll be judging both of us.
