The Kind

(album: Jerusalem - 2002)

Tell me a story 'bout a fella with a crazy dream
Everybody tells him that it won't amount to anything
He fires the shot heard around the world
He wins the prize and he gets the girl
That's the kind of story I like the kind that makes you think

Sing me a song about a cowboy with an aching heart
Riding along the lonesome prairie 'bout to fall apart
Every time those doggies moan
He doesn't feel so all alone
That's the kind of song that I like the kind that breaks your heart

Paint me a picture of a girl with a secret smile
Looking back at ya 'cross the years through ancient eyes
You're standing there like an open door
'Cause she's seen it all before
That's the kind of picture I like the kind that makes you sigh
