Absolute Torch & Twang

What you see on t.v.
All them sparkles
It ain't me
I am givin' what i can
What i can

Things that i may tell you
Honey, i ain't lyin'
It ain't me
All this talkin' is how i feel
How i feel

I'm not asking for the world
I just wanna be an ordinary girl
Might not be all you want
But it's all you get, it's me

On them shiny pages
All that hairdo
It ain't me
I am showing just what i am
What i am

I can feel a mountain rain
That'll wash away
And shine again
Empty my pockets
That were weighing me down
Sift through my soul
To see what's lost and found
Gonna walk away from trouble
With my head held high
Then look closely you'll see
Luck in my eyes

I can hear a howling wind
That sweeps away
The pain that's been
Take all my sorrow
And i'll cast away
The worries tomorrow
That i had today
Gonna walk away from trouble
With my head held high
Then look closely you'll see
Luck in my eyes

All my troubles, all my troubles, gone
With luck in my eyes
All my worry's all my worry's, gone

She was a big boned gal
From southern alberta
You just couldn't call her small
And you can bet every saturday night
She'd be heading for the legion hall

Put her blue dress on
And she'd curl her hair
Oh she's been waiting all week
And with a bounce in her step
And a wiggle in her walk
She'd be swinging down the street

You could tell she was ready
By the look in her eye
As she slipped in through the crowd
She walked with grace
As she entered the place
Ya, the big boned gal was proud

Hey hey the big boned gal
Ain't no doubt hse's a natural
Shakin' and a'snakin'
And a'breakin' up across the floor
Hey hey the big boned gal
Ain't no doubt she's a natural
Reelin' and a'rockin'
And she's yelling out for more
Now people would come
From miles around
And gather there to dance
But when the big boned gal came shufflin' in
She'd hold them in a trance

Out of nowhere this gust of wind
Brushed my hair and kissed my skin
I aimed to hold a bridled pace
When with love itself i came face to face

Pullin' back the reins
Trying to remain
Tall in a saddle
When all that we had well
Ran away
With a will of its own

I know your soul is wild and free
Like this galloiong inside me
Tossed by instinct and where we land
Is vast and certain of all that's planned

You know, i learned to break the run
And gently harness the love of someone
Yes, and equal parts of wait and trust
Is in control of the both of us

Trail of broken hearts
Looking back at you
Now and from the start
These words will travel true
The godspeed of trust
Will settle the dust
We've been passing through
Leaving just a part
Down the trail of broken hearts

Broken trail so long
A long and tired past
An emptiness has gone
I've found this place at last
And here will remain
With only the aim
Of staying sure and fast
Leaving just a part
Down the trail of broken hearts
