I Spy (with my little eye)

I can’t hide from the tears she cried
wrapped up in my tattered suitcase
Tell her Dad that I’ll be running wide
now I’m back in the stride
and I’m back for a new taste
Tell her Mom, that she’s still my number one
drinking whisky from the bottle
too fast its a bad line
So go ahead take a sip of ya wine
loosen up a little tipsy
and forget what happenned last time

Cause, I spy with my little eye
and its something beginning with L that I can’t buy
Guess I tried, cannot look her in the eye
with another on her arm
the look she gave me last time.
and if I cry I can see the reason why
that its something that is real
maybe something that I can’t hide
Cause when I spy with my little eye
its a fever in my body
and a poison that I must try.

Cause I can see her now
in our year book wow!
pigtails and a dress to short
with a fire in her eyes and the pained disguise
wearing that ring from the store I bought
but I still wonder how
I could’ve left her now
couldn’t spend all my life in a small town
Am I back here to settle down?
or am I back to bring the whole thing down now??

that its something that is real
maybe something that I can’t hide

and a poison that I must try.

I’ve been seen with my troubles in between
wear a chip on my shoulder
in the pockets of her blue jean
Can’t be seen
sipping water from her fountain
sacrificial on her mountain
in a pose that everyones seen
I can dream
peaking from by behind the curtain
with a guilt that’s still a hurting
to a place that I have once been
It’s a scene
with a motive that less that certain
and a wheel thats been a turning
since I woke up from a bad dream!

Cause, I spy with my little eye

Cause I Spy
I spy
with my eye
I spy
and I spy
yeah I spy
I spy
