LYRIC FOR SALE

By Rebecca Rhymes

Little girl in a cabin
With just one room
Shiny wings are emerging
From a cocoon
In Smoky Mountain
Locust Ridge, Tennessee
A butterfly flutters...
So lovely -n- free

And you flew
Over the pines
Stole all our hearts
One at a time
Fame didn't change you
Your heart stayed the same
Held onto your values...
From God's country, you came

You are country
Sunshine in spring
Weren't spoiled by having
Each trinket -n- thing
To want, was your blessing
Freed time to sing
Now fly, butterfly...
With rhinestone wings

Stretch out your wings
Wrap them around
All of us here
On God-given ground
You left us too soon
But, I'm happy you're free
You'll always remain...
Such a sweet memory

You are country
Dimples, clay dirt
River rock mixed with rhinestones
A short denim skirt
A wink -n- a washboard
A dream -n- guitar
A coat with Mom's blessing
That's who you are

Stretch out your wings
Wrap them around
All of us here
On God-given ground
You left us too soon
But, I'm happy you're free
You'll always remain...
Such a sweet memory

You are country
Pine cones -n- pearls
High heels caught in hyssop
Sunshine -n- curls
Dewdrops turned to diamonds
Long nails peelin' corn
Red lipstick, long lashes...
A heart pure -n- warm

Brought us the country
Gave it some bling
But the love that you shared...
Well...now that's everything!
