Barstool Sailor Micah: Songs & Lyrics

She's a tan girl in a white T-shirt, staring at her own reflection

The look in her eyes, saying everything, she's moving in her own direction

At a bus stop, all the men stop, they know that she is traveling alone

but she don't speak, it's not that she's weak, she's a little too far from home

 

She's from a small town, where trees blow down, where nature had taken it's course

While businessmen, and small farm hands, they move through her revolving door

On a bus ride, she hears a voice inside, she hears her mother's advice

you better grab your bags, and baby don't look back, get out and live your own life

 

So she met a man down in the islands, who liked to play guitar every night

yeah, they made love until the break of dawn, then all day they'd stay high

Then the months passed, through the hourglass, everything came to an end

Oh, I love you now, and you know where I'll be, if you ever come back this way again

 

Now she's a tan woman, in a white T-shirt, staring at her own reflection

In her daughters eyes, she sees everything, they're moving in their own direcion

At a bus stop. They just watch the clock. Waiting for the time.

Shell grab her bags, she won't look back, she'll leave us all behind

 

Oh, no, no... Grab your bags, oh baby, don't you look back

Ge out and live your own life.
