LYRIC FOR SALE

By Don Livingston

Write me a song
two minutes long
that's about as long as our love lasted
Write down a verse
about a love that was cursed
and how she used up what I had
without askin'

So much for trust
our love went bust
then she walked out of my door
She left me alone
in this big ol' home
she won't be comin' 'round no more

Yeah, write me a song
'bout how she did me wrong
how she broke my heart
with her lyin'
Tell all the world
she's that type of girl
she'll leave you busted up and cryin'

That ring on her hand
was nothin' but a band
of gold to feed her greed
it's probably long gone
somewhere in pawn
that's just about guaranteed

Yeah, write me a song
two minutes long
that's about as long as our love lasted
make my story rhyme
in this amount of time
my friend that's all I'm askin'

It shouldn't take long
to spell it out in song
how she was gone with the wind
How she stole my heart
from the very start
and how the pain
will never end
