You didn’t have to give your necklace to me before I left
Now I lay awake and think how very smart you were
I thought about you every day
I hear the rain comin’ in from miles away
The air is as clean as your skin next to my face
Thought about you every day
100 ways
I thought about you and me a hundred ways
100 ways
And now I lay awake and dream you’re right above my face
Look into my eyes the way you do?don’t look away
Thought about you every day
Birds fall in love here right above my head
They make the same kind of sounds you do
When we’re laying in my bed
100 ways
I thought about you and me a hundred ways
100 ways
And if I had my way when I woke up
in the morning I would read and write
before I ever drew the shades I would kiss you
before you opened up your eyes
Birds build their homes here right above my head
They make the same kind of sounds you do
When we’re laying in my bed
100 ways
I thought about you and me a hundred ways
100 ways

yesterday morning i went
out for a cup of coffee
i shaved
then i combed my hair
a man who didn’t know me
said something to my back
i stopped to turn around and face it
that is why
i pack my .25
where nobody knows
right above my boot
it’s the law
no one there to serve you
why not be the hero?
why not be your own?
swear i’ll kill you!
swear that i’ll kill you
the law–it’s the law
every man out on the street knows
swear that i’ll kill you
i dreamt all yesterday
how i might make a man feel
with a gun up to his face
he’d show respect to me
“i don’t care what you’re thinking
i’ll wipe that thought away”
