This is at least the third time I've released this song. You might say I like it. Long story short: Don't fall for somebody who's a missionary when you're not one.
lyrics
I like the way you laugh at my stupid jokes
and the stupid things I say.
I like your smile, how you do your hair,
and I like that you don't need to wear makeup every day.
I'd like to hold your hand, love to feel your kiss,
maybe just one more warm embrace.
I sometimes think we could share our lives
if it wasn't for the fact we're going separate ways.
I was born in this town, I'll probably die in this town,
and you're in love with Mexico.
I was born in this town, I'll probably die in this town.
I've got nowhere else to go.
I was born in this town, I'll probably die in this town,
and that used to suit me fine.
But thanks to you,
I'm thinking there might be a better life.
I like the way you hold your head when you talk to me.
I like the way you train your eyes on mine when I speak to you.
I like the way you take your shoes off to make yourself at home.
I just wish you didn't feel like you have to leave me here alone.
I was born in this town, I'll probably die in this town,
and you're in love with Mexico.
I was born in this town, I'll probably die in this town.
I've got nowhere else to go.
I was born in this town, I'll probably die in this town,
and that used to suit me fine.
But thanks to you,
I'm thinking there might be a better life.
I need you more, I think,
than a drunkard needs a drink,
or a bandit needs his lawless ways.
But I know you need something else
and it's something that I couldn't be in a billion days.
But I'll miss the good I've seen in your eyes.
I was born in this town, I'll probably die in this town,
and you're in love with Mexico.
I was born in this town, I'll probably die in this town.
I've got nowhere else to go.
I was born in this town, I'll probably die in this town,
and that used to suit me fine.
But thanks to you,
I'm thinking there might be a better life.

Grace Basement's driving force is Kevin Buckley. I went to high school with him and he was a great musician even then. Like fine wine, his music has gotten even more wonderful over time. Derek Brink
